Planet Earth Wearing My Tinfoil Hat
I was headed home today after a late afternoon jaunt to shoot a few gophers at my favorite gopher haunt. I decided to take a twp rd home instead of Hwy 16 just so I could scout for Snows along the way. I hadn't gone but a few miles when I came across this sight for sore eyes. This is a well travelled twp. rd that many live along outside of Lloyd on the AB side and use to drive back and forth to work. I could care less what the person(s) in question do with their bait and harvested animals but for &*%$ sake don't dump them on the side of a well travelled paved twp rd?? And in somebody's lease entrance as well?!! HOLY HELL!! Yes I called AB Fish & Wildlife to report the find and give them the site location but as the officer said, at this point it becomes a littering issue and they do not clean up the mess. It will be Monday before the RM crews are back out hitting the roads but I suspect there is going to be many more calls besides mine coming in. I travelled this same road Friday morning on my way out to gopher shoot and the carcasses were not there then so they must have been dumped overnight.

Idiots!
One would think if you were going to simple dump coyotes, you would leave them where they fell. (I know illegal in most?? areas, but it's the same for dumping them) These guys actually made more work for themselves to dump them there.
 
I know the feeling, someone dumped three deer skeletons about a 1/4 mile from my place this winter. DNR said there wasn't much they could do.

I guess its kind of like the people who dump their ash trays in a parking lot or pull over for a pee and dump their used pampers and Timmies on the ground.

No 1.......I wasn't throwing that pile in my truck. The coyotes were half rotted with guts hanging out exit holes and eyes rotted out of their heads.

No 2......With the amount of traffic going by while I was stopped there on my phone to AB Fish & Wildlife from the looks I was getting there was no way in hell I was going to be the one accused as dumping them there which was the way I was getting looked at just being parked there. People had a look on their faces like they had just caught me dumping in broad daylight. I took the pics, made the call and left the scene. The RM crews can clean it up and dispose of it at the landfill thank you. They have the equipment to scoop it up with without having to manhandle rotted carcasses.

No 3.......Think about that statement. So you're going to load it up and dump it somewhere inconspicuous? So if you get caught doing that you are going to have to prove it's not yours and not get charged with wasting wildlife plus deal with littering charges. Brilliant!! f:P:2:

My guess is they dragged them out there for the "photo op/hero shot". Should of left them in the bush if the fur had no value.

The rm will probably just grade them into the ditch.

Yeah, not quite the same as actual littering. Keep in mind roadkill only gets picked up if it's a traffic concern. If a hit deer makes it into the ditch and dies, no one cares.

Whoever did this was lazy and a slob, but it's not the same as throwing garbage bags on the side of the road.

I thought you might take my comment the wrong way, don’t.
It wasn’t meant as saying what you should have done, I don’t know if I would have either, hence my “I like to think I would have”.
I might have tossed the dogs in the truck and the rib cages farther in the ditch, rotten sh*t doesn’t bother me, but I have no idea, I wasn’t there.

Your response of calling it in and moving on was the best for all concerned, including yourself.
 
I saw a pile of yotes, had to be a good doz or more stacked up and some venison rib carcass's, but at least they were dumped in a less travelled area right along side the road. In fact, it was in the Mar Hills area where a scheduled clean up is supposed to happen soon. This stuff is gone now, as it was a year or so ago.

My apologies.

Thanks for reporting it. The only way we will stop this kind of behavior by making these idiots think about their actions.

History has shown this to be false.

The only way to stop it is to catch them in the act, and then neuter them. After a few generations, the tendency toward this type of behaviour would be all but eradicated from the gene pool. But that wouldn't be politically correct.
