They smell the decay scents and find whatever is emitting it, so it
usually takes a coupla days to get their attention, sometimes sooner in
the heat.

One wonders whether vultures will go after an injured critter, or does it
have to be fully dead?

As in Tejas, we have large groups of turkey vultures, which perform an
amazing community service by clearing roads and pretty much and open areas
of dead animals. They’re amazingly efficient, typically clearing a carcass
in a matter of hours. I can see a dead possum or armadillo freshly
deceased on the road when I go out in the morning and there will be no
trace of it when I come home in the afternoon.
In the north our road and highway crews were often tasked with clearing
such stuff as a part of their jobs. Not necessary here.

Then what did they do? Leave it for the vultures? Just curious.

I might have related the story of the father and daughter in Texas who
had
gone out to hunt boars and after some time came back empty handed. They
were loading up the truck and one comes strolling across the dirt road
right in front of the truck, the little girl who I remember being maybe
10
or 12 grabs her rifle and shoots the thing right there like 30ft away.
They took a picture of it, the thing was absolutely monstrous, not one
of
these little porkers you see running around but a full-grown several
hundred pounder. Massive. The little girl was quite proud.

They are extremely dangerous to hunt, the trapper told me. He said

or you don’t make a good kill shot, you’re next.

I've got a cousin in Texas, need to get him to take me on a boar hunt.
We don't have any up here...
