The Offal Wildlife Watching program is a research and citizen science program with volunteer deer hunters throughout Minnesota. The purpose of our research is to better understand what and when Minnesota wildlife species use hunter-provided deer gut piles (also called offal) and to understand how offal affects wildlife food webs. We ask volunteer hunters to set up camera traps on the offal they leave in the field to monitor and capture images of wildlife visitors for one month. We also use volunteers to help classify and identify wildlife in our many thousands of captured images each hunting season. We’re actively recruiting hunter volunteers before deer hunting seasons start (we can provide project cameras and equipment for use) and are also trying to spread awareness of the project so Minnesota residents can follow our results and the interesting images we capture. If you're a hunter who would like to participate, more information is at: z.umn.edu/offal. To follow project updates follow us on Facebook: Offal Wildlife Watching, Instagram: #offal_watch or Twitter: @offal_watch

Been hunting the northern state for a few yrs and the gut pile does do not last an over night with everything cleaned, not even a speck. When living in Wi. the gut pile would be still evident for several days.
