I know the problem we have in n and have for years is people hunting bucks cutting off the antlers and leaving the rest of the deer lay there to rot and still have the tag to use

If you hunt on a mountain during archery that has corn fields in the valleys, the bear activity gets more frequent on the mountain when the corn pickers start working down below.
