If you are talking about a freshly killed animal in hunting, then a dead animal should be approached as if it were still alive -- because it just might be. A dying animal can be far more vicious than a healthy animal. An animal that is definitely dead (ie is decomposing) should be left alone. They are breeding grounds for disease.
