    Alternatively you can do what I do when we find dead deer on the property. Just a shallow hole with a layer of sawdust and straw covering it that’s been inoculated with lactic bacteria acid.

    The lactic acid bacteria supercharges the decomposition process and prevents any smell associated with putrefaction. You basically pickle the corpse with bacteria that outperforms the natural rotifier microorganisms.

    In this method you can fully decompose a 150lb deer in around 30 days without any real smell. You can also then retrieve the bones, roast them over a fire to make them brittle, and then break them down to dissolve in regular vinegar, making a liquid calcium spray for your garden.

    To learn how to make your own lactic acid bacteria at home using everyday products, you can look into Korean organic farming.
