DEAD COW CAM.

Possum poking around, but never for more than a moment.

Day shift. Basically, birds are eating this thing.

Flaptime.

More of the same. Black Vultures early. Turkey Vultures mix in later. Possum at night. No Coyotes. No crows. Hawks have taken a day off. Colder temp shut the flies off like a switch. The vultures have exploited the early cuts I made in the hide and are reaching several inches inside for meat. Those naked skin heads are coming in handy. I sliced the hide open down the back. Was going to peel it back but the carcass started hissing- outgassing. I didn't want a whiff of that so I left.

Fresh deer tracks in the area. Immediate area around the dead cow stamped flat by buzzards.
