Very true. And I have witnessed it quite a few times. If you are not there to witness the other clue is look what is left a couple of hours after a kill. The innards and content is gone. It is not hard to figure out what is happening but one of the fun things that my son and I have enjoyed is sitting in a blind with cameras and watch the wildlife in the area. It is rather amazing to see just what goes on when everything is not being disturbed.Pastor Brown wrote:the closest time I've seen it live was around 150-180 yards with a scope, they were definitely pulling out & eating entrails.
I have also come up on multiple carcasses and found the organs as much eaten as the muscle tissue.
My main point however, is that the butt - stomach area is always the point of entry.
BH, I appreciate your willingness to read what is being posted and I am trying to tell you what I have learned over the years from both study and experience. I know how hard it is to let go of some of your opinions you have had for years. I had the same thing happen but when you see the actual tests and the results it becomes impossible to not learn from them. Purina, our land grant universities have been leaders in the field but there are many other entities that have done research also. I am going to tell you with out a qualm that there are hundreds of good feeds on the market and the companies making them are trying their hardest to provide the best quality they can since no business in the area of feed manufacturing has ever succeeded that hasn't made a quality product. They rely on repeat business to survive and you don't do that if your product does not perform to the customers satisfaction. I admit there are a lot of companies who let their sales department write their adds and they are badly overstated in most cases. It bothers me as much as it does you, but if you do your homework and forget most of what you read and have read you will gradually see what true animal nutrition is all about.
And Frontline, I would appreciate if you would show the research or where ever you get your info. If I made a lot of mistakes in my dissertation I will have to admit I have made mistakes before and I have learned how to handle them but before I apologize to you and the world I want some proof that what I have learned is wrong. Then you will get the apology along with my appreciation of you teaching me something new.
