I was walking to my stand the other morning at not 50 yards from my stand was a buck with its head cut off and the backstraps removed.I feel that is not ethical but I was wondering if it is legal. Can a hunter just tag the head and then leave the carcass in the woods? This is the second buck I found like this within a few hundred yards of one another. The other was a buck with its head cut off and it was left on the side of the road. Makes us hunters look bad to the public. JMO.

What do you guys think about this?
BTW each deer was shot perfectly behind the shoulder and i am suspecting poaching since the holes look more like bulletholes then broadheads.
