I'd say out of site away from roads, tracks and waterways, if hunting on private property/farms, just ask the owner what he would like you to do to dispose of the gut bag, in an offal hole would be the most respectful in my opinion.

Interesting responses.
I’ve hunted both public land and my private land permissions with members on here, and had to laugh when they get the shits cos the pigs start circling before we’ve even boned the bloody deer out! No, that’s not a fib.
I shot a red spiker to waste one morning on the way up the hill, about 7 a.m. Came back about 8 hrs later and all that was left of said spiker was a stain in the pasture. Gone…. Munch munch.
So yeah, the pigs in our area clean up good and proper. Remarkable creatures really. Guts last a few hours most days. If the wind is blowing the wrong way then it might get a bit ripe, but you’ll come back in a few days and no trace to be seen.
Just...say...the...word
My brother and I took a couple of mates into one of our spots in October last year. We shot two deer on a clearing just on last light. Decided to quickly set up the tarps while we still had light and then walk the 200m or so to gut the deer. Can’t have been more than 20mins all up, and as we get down onto the clearing there’s already 5 pigs going to town on one of the deer- they’d started by ripping open its throat and the gut bag. Had to chase em off. Thankfully the second deer was untouched by them.
A bit like bears coming into the sound of a shot, knowing the dinner bell has rung.
Might be a tough place to do a knee falling down the hill after shooting a redskin....... where did Flyblown go?
If someone asked a hypothetical question - where would be a good place to dispose of a body? - that forest would be a very good spot.
It's often been joked that if I were to kark it of a heart attack or suchlike whilst hunting alone up there, I'd probably get scoffed before they found my body.
Starving is the one thing those pigs definitely are not.
There's a lot of them, but a constant supply of dead ungulates to eat. Depending on season, they'll either get into dumped livestock immediately, or if "on the berries" they'll wait a bit.

....and using your rifle to signal for help!
"Yeah! I can hear someone coming......Oh no, its you bastards, and I've only got 3 in the mag left"
