GLASGOW, Scotland, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Deer poachers can be identified and tracked down by DNA traces left on the animals' remains, researchers in Scotland say.

Wouldn't the investigators need to have the poachers DNA on file in order to identify them? Also, I've never known a gut pile to last more than a night or two before the other forest creatures devour it. I don't see how this would work.
