Re: Fish guts

Personally, I like to leave the fish guts near my campsite along the shore.  I always put them in a position where I can watch the gulls and eagles come in and fight over them, while I am frying up dinner.  Not once in my memory can I recall fish guts lasting longer than 30 minutes from when I put them there.

Now I do understand that QP is telling folks to dump the guts into deep water.  The reason being that they feel that leaving the guts out creates an unnatural population of gulls in the park.  I'm sort of torn on this.  I like watching them eat the guts, and really enjoy the game of seeing how long it takes from when I pull out the fillet knife and I spot one flying in.  But if it is bad for the system, I guess I'll learn to dump them.
