The pile is obscured from my view by brush and trees. I can only see the hawks, eagles, and crows flying to it, and my border collie brought back some big skinless bone with meat on it. It was about a foot long. I guess I should investigate which it is, but regardless, it's drawing wildlife we don't want.
I was worried about that too but these are silkies so half of the 14 of them didn't bother even coming outside lately and the ones that did hung out by the coop door. Yesterday and today they all came out and thankfully did not smell it or go that direction but came south, toward the house, garage, and sun. In the summer, they do go down a 4-wheeler path hubby made that runs down a steep hill to the creek, and this path is near the border of the idiot's land. Hopefully no more until spring now though but I bet it's full of yummy bugs now.
Today I called our local DNR agent. He confirmed that there are dumpsters here too, and that since we live in the country, what he's doing is legal, but totally rude and uncalled for. He asked for our address. I asked him not to talk to the guy, that my hubby will. He agreed that would be best, but we both know it won't matter.
I remember doing this as a kid, so like 4-5 decades ago. My folks used a huge concrete-like container, probably 5 gallons or so, and after they put all the cabbage and whatever in, they put plate on the top. That's about all I remember though. Kudos to you for doing it.
