I was telling a city dweller friend about shooting a weird acting coon yesterday. I told him that after I shot it out of the tree, I put him in the “dead thing bucket” and hauled it off to where I dump dead things. He said I was weird for having a bucket designated for hauling dead things.
It’s just an old bucket I use for dead critters and guts. I make sure not to use this bucket for any other bucket uses. What’s wrong with people nowadays? |

It probably had kits near by for it acting “weird”. It’s rare to see them in daylight usually but the mothers have to feed more in order to feed the kits. So this time of the year they are seen more often in day light hours.

My Grandpa had a similar bucket for chicken heads and guts. I remember when I was about 3 years old chasing the chickens around the yard after he popped their heads off.

People live different lives depending on where they live and how they were raised.
Sounds like your city friend is not very open minded to how other people's live their lives. |

I thought I was weird for having a bucket I use only for moving dead groundhogs. Guess I'm not alone.

Yup, I got a dead thing bucket I use just about daily. It's mostly for rats & rodents. It sure is stanky.

Weirdo.
We just put our dead coons in a bare spot so the buzzards can find them quickly. Eta: there’s one there now actually:

Yup yes indeed one must have a dead thing bucket. When it gets a tad to ripe I throw it in the catfish pond and they are happy happy for a few days.

We just carry it into the woods with the shovel.
Something comes along and eats it pretty fast. |

I at first I would haul off the critters I shot. Now that I am a member of BLM( buzzards life’s matter) I leave them where they die unless it’s on my road or in the ditches that my cattle drink out of.

Caught a groundhog in the Conibear trap night before last, just threw it on the back of a 4 wheeler and to the back field to feed the buzzards, no bucket this time though I have used one.

I wouldn't think twice about someone with a dead thing bucket. I usually just carry dead things to the property line or compost heap though.

I have a possum bucket. Sometimes a possum will wander into the yard where it attracts the attention of my beagles. When I hear the characteristic "possum bark" I go out and rescue the poor thing by putting it in the bucket and taking it to a park a few blocks away.

They usually have it cornered up under a tree and I have to go under and pick the possum up by the tail and put it on the other side of the fence. Possum runs off and dogs go from wide open to normal in .87 seconds. Last time it was raining,dark, and I was wearing PJs and Crocs. Need to get it videoed sometime. |

My dad (living rural, but near other houses) always put dead raccoons and similar on the hood of his car at night, with their tail under the windshield wiper blade, then went for a drive.
Apparently he had a favorite desolate country road curve where he could stomp on the brakes, turn on the wipers and launch the carcass into a field. |

Threw away a couple of young possums my dog "killed" in the back yard. Later we wondered if they were playing or not. Hell, maybe he killed the same one twice.

I use a Rubbermaid tote.
I also usually forget it's full of guts from the last deer of the previous year. It gets replaced when I remember, usually around june |

I didn't realize that playing dead was their actual strategy until they were actually dead. |

We have dedicated gut buckets at the hunting camp. They are actually the large blue plastic drums cut in half with rope handles added.
