Here are some rules of thumb for carcass obliteration:

Use more explosives than shown in the examples on large animals like moose, especially if total obliteration is desired.

One-by-sixteen (1-inch diameter by 16 inches long = 2.54 centimeters by 43.8 centimeters) stick powder generally weighs about 1 pound (45 kilograms) per stick.

One box of linear explosives (fireline) weighs about 55 pounds (25 kilograms).

Most large animal carcasses can be adequately disbursed with 20 pounds (9 kilograms) explosives. However, 40 to 55 pounds (18 to 25 kilograms) are recommended to ensure total obliteration.

The water gel explosives are acceptable for use when the temperature is above freezing (32° Fahrenheit or 0° Centigrade). Emulsions will detonate at temperatures as low as 0°F (-18°C). Use PETN or TNT type explosives when temperatures are near or below 0°F (-18°C).

Caracasses that have been dispersed will generally be totally gone after a few days.

Caracasses that have been partially obliterated will generally not show any trace of existence the next day.

Reminds me of the mistake Oregon(?) made with that whale decades ago.

I’m sure there is a PHD at the US Forest Service that advocates this kind of stupidity ... probably known as Dr. Stupid. Is there anyone in the US Forest Service that might consider just burying the dead animal ... you know, a front loader and ten minutes. Sort of reminds me of the US Coast Guard spending several hours and thousands of dollars sinking the Japanese fishing boat ... not a knife in the drawer sharp enough to think to call .... wait ... yes, the marine salvage company! I’m beginning to believe that the government is raiding mental institutions for retarded people to work in this administration.

Generally when there’s an animal carcass in our woods, the dogs eat it, and then they come into the house and throw up all over the rugs.

Hahaha. Horse shoes should be removed prior to
detonation to prevent flying debris.

Linear explosive, not familiar with that, after my
time, looks like fun though.

They just need to seek the counsel of would-be Muslim suicide bombers.

That’s one heck of a lot of explosives to remove one carcass. No wonder this country is in debt.

Do these a_holes understand that the animals are not really gone, rather they’re just spread out. The same mass of rotting animal still exists. What is natural about this? What would the goberment say if a citizen wanted to do this? Idiots...
