[QUOTE="catman529, post: 3871480, member: 9284"] no assumptions here, just observations. Anyone could have killed those deer they left lying on the ground. But I see quite a few trucks with east tn tags and quite a few wasted carcasses by the roadside at the same time. I'm sure most of the east tn hunters actually eat their kills because they can't find any back home. Funny though I saw one east TN truck parked at WMA with 2 deer on the hitch hauler, one looked to be head shot, both deer were gutted but had no ice and the hunters were hunting well into midday reaching the 60's that day and leaving the deer on their truck with flies buzzing. If you're gonna drive that far you might want to at least buy some ice and keep your meat good. Also, a homeowner near the boundary once drove up to me, while I was bowhunting ML opener, and asked if I was going to shoot toward the house. (I was over 100yd from house) Of course I wasn't going to shoot that way, and was bowhunting anyway, but he was legitimately concerned because he said people come from Knoxville and even as far as North Carolina every year, and shoot up the place and cut the deer's heads and leave the deer to rot. Those are my observations, not assumptions, and I also know people who hunt public land too who see the same kind of stuff Sent from the talk of tap [/QUOTE]
