Look what I found

Look what I found on the side of the road just a few hundred yards from my house.

Looks like a lot of waste to me.
Some sportsman, I would have liked to catch him dumping this.

Looks like an alien mutilation to me...

They usually have very poor sportsmanship.

Chupacabra...............https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra

If it was human, its a shame and the dumping on the side of the road, much less near someone's driveway is pretty bad. I guess expecting common sense from someone who would do that in the first place is a lost cause.

Well, at least you have coyote bait...

And at least they used some of it. I can't begin to count the number of dead deer I find that had a fatal gsw that were left laying...usually does.

Slob hunters walk among us, but they rarely get caught.

A lot of good meat left for sure. I see good grind for stix and a neck roast. I love me a good neck roast.

No different though than their bird hunters who go to SD every year and throw out last year's birds when they return to make room. If you aren't going to eat it do not put it on your plate.

Hard to say if that's wanton waste or just incompetent butchering skills. Plenty of both out there.

My first thought was wanton waste, but after looking at it again it appears as though they cut meat off the hind quarters and cut out the back straps, so I think it's incompetent (and/or lazy) butchering skills.
They did leave a lot of good meat behind, that's for sure.

This looks like the product of "Gutless field dressing". If you search on Youtube there are videos that describe this
method of butchering. Seems very wasteful to me.

I was up north and did not discover the carcass until Thursday, that is when I took the picture. There were a half dozen crows picking at it when I first found it and my neighbor said he saw it Sunday morning, 4 days before I found it. So how much meat was removed by the crows before I found it? When I took the picture, I never looked that close to see if maybe a coyote had removed some of the meat. Now it is basically a skeleton, most all of the meat has been eaten by scavengers. It was easy to see that the blackstrap were cut out, appears to be the same for the roasts from the rear quarters.

New to me, but I haven't hunted in many years. Where is the Deer Tag attached? How is the deer checked in?

My guess it that it was taken illegally and dumped there because they didn't know what else to do with the carcass. It would be odd to carry around an illegal carcass and decide to drop it at the end of someone's driveway. The old poachers up North would drop the carcasses in the nearest river or let it lay where it was poached so as not to be caught transporting an illegally harvested animal. Part of their strategy was to get the most and best meat quickly and get the hell out of the area in case someone heard and reported the shots. That makes for a lot of wasted meat. Some did it for noble reasons, others just liked breaking the law.
