1:2

One who slaughters a non-domesticated (wild) animal or a chicken (עוף means bird, poultry, but means chicken here, see Beitzah 1a) on a festival, Beis Shammai says one can dig with a shovel (literal meaning: pick) and cover (the blood), and Beis Hillel says one may not slaughter, unless he had dirt ready (to cover the blood) while it was still day (daylight on the day before the festival. And they agree (literal: acknowledge) that if he did slaughter, he can dig with a shovel (literal: pick) and cover it if the dirt of the burner (ashes?) was pre-prepared. (at daylight on the day before the festival, they can be used to cover up the blood.)
