A significant number of local hunters think it is perfectly OK to dump rotting heaps of pig along roadsides. Having said that, I wish you well and support pig hunting as both a food source and hog population control measure. They really can be destructive to the environment and agriculture.
That is a good point, here we leave gut piles in the wilderness, where the animal was felled. This usually makes for a good meal for many other animals which will scavenge the remains. What is recommended on the BI? I am not opposed to hauling out a gut pile, but the animal will need to be cleaned on site. I also detest those hunters which are poor shots and injure an animal. I would not let it get away, for the sake of ending its misery. We do not have boar yet in Montana, but I don't doubt they can survive here. They are slowly moving north, east, and west out of Texas. We do have many other invasives though, mostly fish.
