I'm new to hunting, and was wondering why I keep seeing deer carcasses (skin and bones) dumped on the side of the road. I found two carcasses right at the entrance to an area I was scouting for muzzleloader season.

When I clean fish streamside, I put the fish innards back in the stream to provide nutrients for other living creatures in the stream. Could this be an explanation, or is just another case of a minority of hunters being thoughtless and lazy? Thanks.
