I feel your pain.. I once had a buzzard hanging out around my feeder all day. The stench was horrible.. too much to bear..
I told her if she came back, I'd divorce her!

Hunting is easy..it's getting permission from your wife that is tough.

Throw a chain around its legs and drag it off a ways. Those saying it will be gone soon are mistaken, IMO. We've had several die and it takes 4EVER for them to rot down. The tannerite idea actually has some merit. I agree with it taking a along time - My grandfather had a cow die by a pond that was my favorite fishing hole and it would have been impossible to get a tractor in there to burry it or drag it off; I remember the carcass and stench being present for months before it finally turned to bones. The tannerite could work or create a BIG mess - If its possible, I would pile a lot of cut limbs and brush all over the carcass and throw a couple gallons of diesel on it and light it up, get the fire REALLY HOT by using a leaf blower to feed air to it and keep throwing brush on it..... this will not be a fun task but it should speed up the process. I don't know about burning it, maybe a smaller cow and a few acres of brush. I have a friend that had a horse that died. He dumped it on a monster brush pile, added diesel and lit it up. The fire was huge. When it burned down, the next day he had a big oozing clump of half cooked horse. He continued to add more brush and tried to burn the horse to ashes, never happened. He ended up leaving it to rot because the buzzards wouldn't even eat on a cooked horse carcass.

Your cow are the ranchers? Be sure he is aware, just saying. I showed the landowner the cow and location. She leases out the grazing rights. The cow died giving birth along with the calf. Pretty Horrible site for sure. Not a quick process I'm assuming and a tough way to go! We have talked about putting a tarp over the blind and using the Tannerite method. It will most likely be a couple weeks before anyone goes back out.
yep, sure, why not

I don't know if it will be a pile of bones by September, but I would think it would be gone by November.

my experience with dead cows is if they die in childbirth or someone shot a healthy cow, they get eaten pretty quick.
if they die of disease they don't get touched and take a long time.
Nature knows which animals are clean and healthy to eat versus the ones to leave alone.
Glad it worked out for ya!! You should still call it the dead cow blind, just sounds cool
