I buried my old dog Dakota at lake Patterson, in the tree rows where he used to like to chase around on our daily walks. He was run over by a pickup and died almost instantly. I have not returned to the shallow hole I placed him in, as the ground was way harder than I had anticipated.
I am hopeful his remains helped those pine trees prosper, but can not return to find out, as I just don't have it in me.

The fish guts never seemed to change my vegetable growth, for the better or worse. I am guessing it helped, but it wasn't provable in my nonscientific mind.

Fish guts and tomatoes are a wonderful combo. Plant half as much tomatoes and you still will have twice what you can use.

What Kickemup said... what you have at your permanent residence, is your own business. Whether it's in the freezer, or the garden.

I know that a large carp, chopped in half with an axe, will really make cukes grow...

Last time I buried a couple northern guts in the garden, the neighbor dogs came over and dug them up and ate them. Always wondered if they went home and shat all over in the house that night.

I think the answer is that it'll be up to two people. One is you. The other is the warden or law person you run into. If your shady, have a history of violations, or are a prick to the warden you'll probably get ticketed. Or, if you run into one of those law enforcement people who see everything as black and white and has no common sense you'll probably get ticketed. Luckily though, our system has this check and balance called The Judge. They're higher up on the ladder and get paid more because most of them get to use this tool called common sense in their decisions.

Disclaimer: Please notice the word "most" in the last sentence.

I wouldn't trust game wardens . The fuckers busted a relate of mine for just a couple fish over the possession limit and the fine was almost 1K.

Why not call a warden and ask? I'm sure they will tell you, especially if you approach it as "what we've done in the past is.. but we are wondering if it is a legal way to transport our scraps to the grinder" or something like that. i'm sure you'll get a straight answer with no negative repercussions. Plus it will show them that you are wanting to know what the law is so you aren't in question.

I can assure you no warden is going to go digging through a pile of guts trying to figure out how many fish were there without a very good reason to do so. Even if they did, you can't be ticketed for the guts. They may use it to dig into things a little further and see if more investigation is warranted but there is nothing in the regulations about transportation of guts. If you're transporting cleaned fish then you need to remember that under no circumstances can you transport more than a possession limit and those fish must be packaged in a way that easily allows a warden to determine how many fish are there. Don't freeze a bunch of chopped up fillets in a zip lock and transport them.

It seems fictitious might have a thing with authority, and reality.

I bet he hates goose lake too.

Maybe his wive doesn't let him consume brewskies in the garage?

When fishing with a guide in Alaska in 2014, I was surprised to learn that fish remains are dumped back into the streams. It supplies food to other animals in the water, and helps keep bears from coming to you.
