I shot a red spiker to waste one morning on the way up the hill, about 7 a.m. Came back about 8 hrs later and all that was left of said spiker was a stain in the pasture. Gone…. Munch munch.

So yeah, the pigs in our area clean up good and proper. Remarkable creatures really. Guts last a few hours most days. If the wind is blowing the wrong way then it might get a bit ripe, but you’ll come back in a few days and no trace to be seen.

The pigs there must be starving, the offal dumps on farms I attend the pigs don't normally arrive until the offal is well matured.
