    No, haven't heard anything from any Officer as of today (Friday) I'm hoping when I spoke with the lady and gave her the location that maybe a officer went out there.... I'm actually going over there Monday to hunt (different location) but I'm going to stop by that spot and check it out... See of the cooler is still there etc... If it is I will call the number again....

    See it all the time at PB .... I think people dump a lot of deer there simply because it is so isolated.

    Are you sure its not road kill that they are dumping there? I saw a spot in southern IL that had at least 40 deer which were road kill.

    No def not that... Went over yesterday (Sunday) with my Wife and 2 kids to do some trails/walking and went by this spot to show them where I saw all this and there were a good dozen dead Geese laying out in the lot (not in the woods) they weren't there on Wednesday.... This is clearly poaching.... Haven't heard from a Officer from the original situation so I sent the customer service email address all the previous pics and then these Geese pics.... Mind you this isn't a Geese hunting spot either...

    The geese will get attention b/c of higher fines, the deer not so much. They just want the deer killed.

    This is a pretty bizzar situation, and there's no way any of it is legal. I don't get the parts (which included legs) being in the cooler when everything else is all over the place. This includes neck meat that would have been perfectly good. I sure hope they catch the SLOBS who are responsible for it! What part of the state did you find this mess?

    The stuff in the cooler could be parts from a butchered deer at someone's home. Maybe they couldn't drive out to their 'dumping' spot for a few days and just packed legs and such into a cooler until they could make the drive.

    Thats ridiculous. Hopefully they'll follow up on both issues. Id keep calling until they went out and took a look for themselves.

    Here in IL the deer that were left whole would be bones within days from the yotes. I put out carcass after butchering and its gone in 2 days

    This makes no sense, especially when there's numerous deer at the location.
