Well when on my way hunting tonight I made an ugly find.

I hunt in the bush and park my vehicle in a semi-used gravel pit. On the way in I see about a dozen ravens on the edge of the road in and say, oh, dead deer. I wasn't completely correct. There were three severed heads with the antlers sawed out and one partial carcass.

Not even an attempt to hide them out of sight. I don't think that it would be regular hunters doing something like that.

Just very disappointing when the normal hunters do their best and aren't having luck in the area then you see something like that. Yes it looks funny , maybe it isn't. But to me it has a hint of stink to it!
 
I work for our local municipality and I see this every fall. Everything from hide and head leftovers to whole "undersized" animals thrown in the ditches. Last years worst sad find was a large garbage bag full of Canada geese, about 20 birds total, just shot and tossed. Alberta F&W just cannot keep up with reports like this. They cannot do anything unless some is caught in the act. IMO it makes us better sportsmen (and women) to do our best to police our own areas and report suspicious activity. As for hide and head leftovers, there are better places to dispose of these.
 
Did you take pictures and report it, or at least report it?

EDIT* Sorry, I might have read that wrong, maybe nothing other than some animal parts thrown in the bush????
 
I thought that myself at first, but the heads appear to be cut from the bodies outright, not skinned then cut of like most folks typically do. As for the location it seems to be a hasty drop of what they had.

I have reported many findings/incidents to the CO's but they even say there is nothing that they can do.

Ran into one of the regular hunters that frequents the same area as me. He is finding a new area to hunt next year due to the "extra curricular" hunting activities in the area and the adverse effect it is having on the animals.

Just very disappointing to have this happen so close to what used to be an excellent area.

As per the 2010 Sask' synopsis page 24:

It is a violation waste, destroy, allow to spoil or abandon the edible flesh of a game bird or big game animal, except bear.

We read about these activities in the Western Sportsman (?) every year. Please be a statistic.
 
We had a buck jack lighted off my dad's place a few days ago, 50m off the road and the head cut off. They went down the hedge along the field on the neighbor's land and then snuck thro and took the head. My younger brother was posted on that field until legal lite was past and then there with the morning and the buck was lying there at first light.

Not alot one can do, it isn't the first time this has happened. I hear you. Just pisses me off when it does.

JT.
 
Took a closer look at the find tonight before I headed to my stand. One was a very mature buck, one was a mid aged animal, and one was actually left upside down, I turned it over, was a small spike buck. Just be nice to catch someone in the act.

And FYI , my either ### tag goes into the soup broth this year.:rolleyes:
 
There are a--hole hunters everywere. I just found a spot right beside a fairly well used gravel road that 4 sort of boned out carcases and one full animal minus the head were dropped off. It was in full view of anyone driving by. What a waste, and we don't need any more bad publicity.
 
I can't get people like this at least make an attempt to hide it. It does not take that much time.
I drove into similar scene in BC yesterday deer head blood and guts on the side of the road like they don't have time to throw it at least 10 m from the road

Its hard to shoot coyotes of it if it in the bush. This is often why its in the middle of a cleared area.
 
I seem to ehar about this happening WAYYY more often out west then over here...but maybe I just havn't read the right threads at the right time. Either way its ####ty for everyone else and makes us all look bad.

It seems the Ontario poachers eat their deer, not dump them.

I have only ever found one dumped carcass...a doe, that someone let hang too long, and it spoiled. :(
 
to Browning NB it was not for coyoty hunting. It was along well traveled forest road 40 m range. There are many open areas, medows in the area that are ideal for hunting. Some one was just to stupied to clean it up. Plus there area is frequented by Vancouver urban Green Maniacs they just need to make a photo and we will have another Provincial Park or conservancy area
 
Well when you can get thousands of dollars, illegal of course, from selling these antlers it is a surprise that we don't see more. Who is gonna catch them anyways??

And like others have said, the hunters that do it proper and legal get grilled for being killers and anti-environmental who others figure should be eating soy burgers to preserve the pretty animals that nature intended us to watch and look at.:rolleyes:
 
The ones that don't eat them and are only after antlers won't go through the effort of loading and dumping somewhere else. They leave them were they shot them,aside from the heads of course.

I'm really not seeing a big offence here. You said they were dumped in a "semi-used" gravel pit, whatever that means. It wasn't along the Transcanada Hwy.

You're not sure there was any meat wasted whatsoever, you just found three heads and a partial carcass, in a gravel pit. Where's the issue? :confused:
