    Will you eat animals that routinely eat carrion?

    I wouldn't call cut bait carrion. I am talking about animals who feed off rotten carcasses. Buzzards, crows, crabs and the like. I continue to be surprised how little people know about nature...

    Chickens will eat carrion, and I'll damn sure eat some chicken.

    Doves too, but they may have been pecking out the maggots in that dead coon. Pintails are well known for this...

    hogs will stick their snouts a foot or two into a rotting deer carcass to eat the maggots.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Best bream bite I've ever encountered, was a rotting carcass floating under a limb.

    Bream would jump on top of the dead critter to grab maggots.

    I took the white grub off my beatle spin and did work.

    I've learned to never say never...

    But, it would need to be a dark dark day and I would need to be really really hungry.

    The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is,
    as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
