Interesting. Guess we'll never know. Most of the time dead cattle, deer, feral hogs, and various exotics disappear in a week at the most. This one was not touched. Thanks for the response.We had a fat steer set to go to slaughter the next day (no drugs in his system)cast himself and die that night. Coyotes nibbled a little here and there but for the most part it's just birds.
