Nothing, stuff happens and whatever happened the people involved don't owe you any explanation which could be good ones. I've hunted there, surprised you found anything with all the scavengers round there. Shoot a deer there and not find it till the next day and chances are real good half of it will have been eaten. Stuff happens. What do you want a person to do with a half eaten deer? Probably thought nothing would be left in short order. Gigundous yote problem there.

I came upon something like that once, except more hair raising. Went onto a public ground and saw a dead deer, weird. Walked a few yards and there was another, very weird. Walked a few more yards and there was the third, that's when I started feeling a tingle. Looking to my right I saw a house about 200 yards away with the screen out of the second story window, I left quick. That's what I did. The dnr goes through those places every now and then and will find the dead deer and do what they do just like the rangers do in those campsites.

To answer your question on what kind of person would leave a half eaten deer, what did you do? I'm sure the rangers want people to call them every time someone finds a dead deer. They could've put them there. Just hunted an area in Va. that has hogs, those that manage the ground for some reason got the state involved. The state came in there set traps, caught and killed hogs, took blood and left nine along a logging road to rot. They're waiting for concerned people like you to call them.
