Ain't much fun fishing a week old possum out of a water trough in 100 degree heat. Then you have to figure out a way to dump the water and clean out the tank. Makes for an Industrial Strength Right Guard day. Hard on the appitite too.

Been there with a dead fawn last year in a trough. Clorox works wonders on it if you can hold your dinner down long enough to pull the plug on the trough. Even worse when the buzzards have joined in at the buffet.

If you can get to the tank before it dries, a dragline works pretty good.
