I won't be picking it up, it will be owl food, additional fly food, or fertilizer right where it lands.

Every now and then I'll get a cottontail that has one.  Just pop them out, no need to cut off the whole leg.  They are lodged between the skin and the membrane on the body, never in contact with the meat. 
When they come for mine they better bring theirs

I'm with Jerry, if the critter don't look right its going in the ditch.

frogman, i kow exactly what you mean, there are dead squirrels on top pf dead squirrels here.

i talked to a friend yesterday who said he though tit had to do with it being so dry this summer. either way there are alot of them here and alot of them have warbles(botfly larvae) if the ones round here close to the house ar e an overall indication.

we usually hold off hunting them till after the first hard frost causae they will come out then.

i aint ever been hungry enough to eat a warble infested squirrel, thank God!

some people down south call warbles "wolves", i dont know why but they do.

Wolves, like warbles, are parasites.  :sneer:
Makes sense to me! :eyebrownod:

cathryn

wonder why they dont call em yotes?  :biggrin:

Wolves sounds scarier, meaner. ;yes;

Coyote is a little more derogatory. :huh:

Well cathryn, I reckon I'm some of those people down south  :eyebrownod: :laf:  They are called wolves here, that's all I've ever heard them called, I have no idea why.  :shrug: I know what they are but have never heard them called warbles until I read this topic. Must be a regional thing? :wo: :confused:

BTW> I thought a warbel was a species of song bird?   :shrug: :laf:

Born and raised in the southern highlands of Appalachia, I'm just an ol' country boy who enjoys calling coyotes... nothing more, nothing less.

Dave,

6 per mile x 85 miles = 510.  I would estimate some of those miles had more than 6.  In one 20 yard stretch I counted five dead squirrels.  Plus I was just looking at the right side of the highway.

You can't kill 'em from the recliner!!
