"What is recommended on the BI?" - MikeyMike11
Not being a hunter myself, I can only repeat what my responsible hunter friends and neighbors have told me. When doing licensed hunting in the remote reserves or with permission on large tracts of private land, field dressing and leaving the guts and bones in place is the way to go. I think a lot of the dumping results from kills made in more populated areas and/or on small tracts of land. Sometimes pigs are cage trapped in people's yards or small properties and killed on the spot, and some people even raise captured piglets and slaughter them at home. When that is done, things get dicey with disposal of the inedible parts. (Burial is virtually impossible in nearly all of Puna.) One guy double bags such remains in plastic and takes them to the county transfer station, but I don't know the official rule on that. I do know that it is more sanitary and aesthetic than roadside dumping.
