STOP DOING THIS

Seeing stuff like this makes me ashamed for being a human. Hard to believe there's people out there like that and can call themselves a hunter. MO has a great program for donating meat if the intent is to kill a deer and just harvest the backstraps.

We have the same thing in NC that's why stuff like this baffles me I just don't see why people can't take the extra 10 minutes to carry it to someone who will use it!! Alot of homeless kitchens will also take them!!
 
I’ll give a little backstory. This is a tiny piece of public 3 miles from my house. Not many deer here but I’ve never ran into another hunter and it’s easy to get there. I was looking to put a doe in the freezer and wanted to do it on a stalk. I knew where an old old doe with no fawns had been bedding. Within 100 yards of the road. I get there today and this is right at the edge of the parking lot. She had been shot in the head with a rifle and just the loins removed.
 
**** bags!!!!

Unfortunately happened here in NJ as well. Carcass a few yards away from a parking area. Poachers, it was opening day for early bow and it was there that morning stinking up.

One year I walked into the cedar thicket next to a camping area on a popular WMA on thanksgiving weekend (Tennessee). There were the usual quartered out carcasses, as well as a buck with the head cut off and only the backstrap removed, and another buck that was gutted with the head cut off, but no meat taken at all.

These are not hunters doing this kind of thing, so don't feel bad about our sport. These scum are the dregs of our society and the reason you lock your doors and don't leave anything outside. Report these incidents to the Conservation Department in your state. Once in a while they will leave clues that trip them up. We all need to do our part to apprehend as many of these low life mud sucking dirt bags as we can.
 
These type people are in every state. Maybe not many, but they are out there. We all get reminded every year. It’s disturbing and I wish the game warden would catch these clowns.
 
I had the same issue last year. Two bucks I had on camera all year, then they disappeared and I thought they went walkabout. Driving out to me hunting spot saw a bunch of turkey vultures circling. Pull up and it’s those two bucks, capped and back straps gone and that’s it. Not even field dressed. Called the game warden and he came out, that’s wanton waste here in VA. Didn’t want that on my rep since it was outside my property. Sucks man.
 
I'm always surprised and shocked when i see things that remind me that some humans have no humanity. I can't imagine killing a being for its antlers alone, or for just the most choice cut of the meat. I understand that the animal will get eaten by all sorts of creatures, but I just so can't identify with having such detachment for the life and death of an animal.
 
This is a prime example of why hunters get a bad wrap. This is very wasteful and lazy!

Most people would see these guys as hunters, because they only see the pic with the hunter holding the deer, or heard about the deer, without knowing what happened afterwards.

it may be a road kill , that someone dumped after salvaging backstraps.
 
^^^^^^ That is another thought. The DNR here will dispatch a deer that is injured with a well placed shot to the head. Then maybe the person that hit the deer took the back straps because the rest of the deer was mangled.

Was going to say the same thing. I don’t notice a gun/arrow wound so I’m guessing road kill. I personally have pulled over off the side of the highway and cut the straps off of a deer that was just hit (was on my way to work).
 
If it’s left in the parking lot ?
These aren’t hunters, they are criminals.

I’ve found one of these in NJ and a doe in PA.
Makes me sad when I think of time hunters as a community; help others distraught over marginal shots / hours tracking deer for and the stress of experienced hunters of not dropping a deer where it stands.
