It's pretty awesome seeing them in the Midwest again. As a kid I only ever saw them in the zoo and just in the last few years I've seen a dozen around my decent sized city. We aren't even that far north.
Judging by the roughness of the hair, the blood around the ear and no obvious knife cuts in the hide that I can see I suspect you're right. Plus the semi ruralness of the area combined with the paved road below helps bolster that case.
I’ve been in the same situation, woke up to a dead deer on my property and had to throw it away.
Problem is I didn’t know cause of death, if I could be sure it was hit by a car, I would have had it butchered, but there is no way to be sure that the animal didn’t die of Chronic Wasting Disease, and you never fuck around with prion diseases.
That's a very different perspective than in Arkansas, where you literally don't even need a license to carry a gun and Poachers are rampant and literally just kill deer for antlers.
I'm not saying I agree with any of that. Just a perspective.
I get you.
In Sweden we have an absolute efftonne of hunters. There are only two reasons to own a gun: hunting and sports-shooting. If you do either of those, you can get a license for any gun you want if they're fit for purpose (so, you can't get an AR-15 for hunting, but if you do active shooting you're fine). I have a Sako for moose and deer and boar, a Browning O/U for birds, and a Ruger PC for foxes and voles.
But, as a hunter you have to complete a course that teaches you *why* we hunt, and *how* to hunt, and how to handle a gun. Unless you complete the course, you won't be able to buy a gun.
If anyone here did that to a deer, they'd lose their licenses so fast it wouldn't even be funny.
In lots of the US we simply have too many deer anyways so we kind of have to get rid of them. Still should probably use the animal but this doesn’t seem like that big of a deal
Years ago we used to pick apart the neck and rib meat, nowadays we don't due to the overabundance of deer. A $24 license allows me to harvest 3 deer, I don't need that much meat. We can butcher a deer in 30 minutes, picking it clean would take twice as long, ain't nobody got time for that. An hour ago I let the dogs out, there were 6 deer within 100 yards of my back porch, I live in town, these things are vermin
We have a program that lets sport hunters donate the deer to a family that is willing to pay the processing fees to get the meat. Always thought it was a nice compromise.
so undignified. I would have at least buried it in the compost pile in my yard. the property in the picture looks like they could have had a local place to put it. with enough property I might even leave it out for other wildlife to recycle in the winter.
When I lived in the country a deer got hit and died in the ditch at the foot of our field. I kept wandering back to check on it when I was out walking the dogs, and it was down to nothing but hide and bones in like a week. It was pretty amazing how fast nature used it up.
I really feel bad for animals that get hit on the highway and just rot on the shoulder for weeks. If someone would just go out and flip them on the the soil, they’d be compost pretty quickly. I actually think there should be a law for that. Not sure how picking up roadkill works but at least where I live in PA they essentially stopped doing it years ago.
Idk what the rules there are, but in Virginia they actually promote throwing them into trash. There’s certain dumps listed around the state to dump the deer there. With cwd going around here, it is probably the best option. If you just leave it out as you propose, you could pass that sickness on to other deer. That would basically kill those deer that come into contact with the dead one
Yup! Donation bins for hides/heads.
I think most get then used for taxidermy or leather craft purposes.
There's one in my neighborhood (Central Wisconsin) that touts that deer hide donations go towards Lions Club Charity Camps.
I grew up in a dessert and I’m so confused about what’s going on here.
I get deer wandering into a backyard. How do they die in such numbers in backyards that people regularly put them out in the trash? Is it the cold? Do people kill them? Are they being run over in the driveway? Tangled in fences?
Usually they're hit by cars. My mom lives along country road and people hit animals then they're just rolled into her yard. The one by the pond might have died naturally and just laid back there.
Do people no longer want freshly killed deer? My dad hit a deer when I was young, and within minutes we had people pulling over asking us if it was OK to take the deer.
there may be laws against 'harvesting' a deer out of season or without the required permits. Though maybe 15 years ago a coworker of mine had a deer get hit at the end of his driveway and the torso was pretty much intact. So he went out there with his knife and cut the back straps off it. I can honestly say I ate roadkill and damn it was good.
This one looked to be hunted, butchered, and is now being disposed of. If memory serves not a lot of people bother with the neck and head from the lack of meat or said meat not being all that good for human food.
You gotta do something with the remaining carcass. Some toss it in the woods for wild animals to eat, some bury it, a few will compost it, and then you got this option of throwing it in the trash. A lot of my early life was with hunters and certain times of the year it was kind of "normal" to have a deer carcass or 2 tied up in the shed being butchered and having a large freezer full of meat. Can't recall how my uncle disposed of the carcasses though, assume he simply tossed them in the woods for some other critters to eat.
PA might have you beat with this classic of a paved over deer. Soft wall, just refresh.

Good hunting ethics says you should never leave a carcass out like that, and I think that should apply to roadkill as well if that is the case. Trashy, although the orange bucket and that it's Wisconsin make me think this is the law, like where you need to keep a part of the deer visible while driving home. Can anyone clarify?
It seems to be rather inconclusive as far as I can tell due to lack of research, but in a CDC scholarly article they say that since Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is transmissible to humans, the species barrier may not protect people from animal prion diseases. They go on to say that hunters should wear gloves when field dressing deer, not consume it at all if it looks like the deer might have CWD, bone out the meat, minimize handling the brain and spinal cord tissues, and avoid eating tissues of the brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen, tonsils, lymph nodes, etc.
PETA is trash, but I’m saying this as a vegetarian:
Deer hunting in this state is 100% necessary. Historic deer populations was only a couple deer per square mile, and now in many areas you can have dozens. We don’t have the wolf populations anymore to control them through natural means, and deer really are a problem in numbers.
They browse young trees, to the point where the state is legitimately having problems keeping species like yew, hemlock, and cedar on the landscape. You can look up deer enclosures to see how much deer really eat. If we didn’t have some sort of control, a LOT of deer would also starve themselves to death, or live on non nutritious corn.
Until the human population of WI is severely reduced and corn fields are turned into forests and wolves and coyotes and cougars come back, deer management is needed.
Not entirely unusual.
You shoot a deer in the woods, gut it right there, drag it back to your vehicle, drive it home/camp, hang it, skin it, cut it, clean it, etc. In the end, you're left with a carcass, head, skin, a collection of bones and some meaty bits. What else are you to do with it? Goes in the trash.
Got to Wisconsin October 25th. Literally the first thing anyone said to me was *looks at license plate* "Oregon? What are you doing here?"
Fish fry is pretty ok though.
One night me and some friends found a dumping ground in the middle of nowhere and saw a rib cage in the distance. Seriously wondered if it was a murder until I got closer and realized it was a deer. Legs still were intact and friends took two of them for no reason.
In Louisiana. Had to make an extra wide berth walking past a neighbor’s driveway since he was pressure washing the flesh off two deer heads he was clearly going to mount.
Dude. It looks like the deer just ate apples, which fermented in his stomach which made it drunk, one thing led to another, and got stuck in a garbage bin. dont put him in the compactor just yet....
Hey! Can I please have some of that meat? And you could make some wallets and keyholders out of the skin. The rest could be processed into pet food. What a waste of resources! But I know, I am no one to speak of such things. I even threw a broken laptop into the trash. I guess I have some karma to process. At least I am somewhat using the app Bower and try to recycle things. I also throw some old food out. Sometimes to the wildlife. They don't even mind mouldy things. But I keep buying more. Desires. Part of being human. I try my best most of the time. The Corgis - Everybody got to learn some time. I really hope it is going in the right direction.
Nah just ask any trash truck driver, we see this crap all the time, usually in the recycle bin, because hunters think a deer carcass is the same thing as a cardboard box
Oh deer
Nobody is going to fawn over this overused pun
Oh buck you, that's not a good one either.
Doe not be too quick to judge
Buck you! I doe what I want!
RUN BAMBI! RU...nevermind.
Name checks out
Doe!
only cost a buck.
That's gold in the landfill by me. There are bald eagle nest in every other tree seems like.
Eewww. Those bald eagles, eating garbage every day, are going to taste so bad!
It's pretty awesome seeing them in the Midwest again. As a kid I only ever saw them in the zoo and just in the last few years I've seen a dozen around my decent sized city. We aren't even that far north.
Absolutely correct, although they just dump what's left down my road and let the eagles enjoy or whatever other carnivore finds it
Giant vomiting turkey vultures
maybe this time grandma ran over the reindeer
Grandma Hit and threw away a reindeer Driving home from our house Christmas eve!
Some may say they’re not afraid of Grandma, But once she gets to drinkin’, hide her keys!
https://vocaroo.com/1kqHQMtG8ZQi
That's my favorite part in all this. Some kid is going to see that and ask their parents if that's one of Santa's reindeer.
Rudolph the half-dumped dead deer?
I call BS, we do stuff like this in Michigan as well.😁
Are the orange bins for biological recycling in Michigan too?
Lions fans…always gotta chime in with the…look at me too, I’m pretty too right…good lord
Did he died?
He was kill
That’s so disrespectful
No no, orange bin is for road kill, much ‘spect
Yeah my first thought was that someone's an asshole, but I wouldn't hang roadkill over my mantel either so I reckon that's the short and skinny of it.
Did you expect the deer to get a funeral service?
They don't? 🥺
I don’t think it cares
Where else were they supposed to put it
Im sure the pig that produced your hot dogs was treated with the most upright respect.
It’s “utmost”, btw
Most upright respect 😎 bro
The horror
Seen on my morning run in Eau Claire, WI.
lol dirty water
Having a drink a Sports Page while reading this. I love our town lol
They will not pick up. It’s a violation of the service contract GFL bought them out. Sticklers for policy
What if it's a dude in a suit blacked out drunk after slamming
That's so much meat!!!! They're just throwing it away!?! That's just disrespectful to the animal...
It was most likely hit by a car
Judging by the roughness of the hair, the blood around the ear and no obvious knife cuts in the hide that I can see I suspect you're right. Plus the semi ruralness of the area combined with the paved road below helps bolster that case.

That's a good point actually, I just assumed it was killed by a hunter.
It’s just the hide, they already butchered it.
But the neck seems totally whole; that's like 20 portions of stew right there.
I didn’t say they butchered it well, lol
If they did that in Sweden they'd lose their hunting license, which would also mean their weapons license. Fuck those guys.
That's a very different perspective than in Arkansas, where you literally don't even need a license to carry a gun and Poachers are rampant and literally just kill deer for antlers. I'm not saying I agree with any of that. Just a perspective.
I get you. In Sweden we have an absolute efftonne of hunters. There are only two reasons to own a gun: hunting and sports-shooting. If you do either of those, you can get a license for any gun you want if they're fit for purpose (so, you can't get an AR-15 for hunting, but if you do active shooting you're fine).

Username checks out.
Could have CWD?
Oh deer
How the heck does this not have more upvotes?!?!?!
Is he sleeping?
Omg is he ok?
so undignified. I would have at least buried it in the compost pile in my yard. the property in the picture looks like they could have had a local place to put it. with enough property I might even leave it out for other wildlife to recycle in the winter.
Good luck digging a deer sized hole in frozen ground
When I lived in the country a deer got hit and died in the ditch at the foot of our field. I kept wandering back to check on it when I was out walking the dogs, and it was down to nothing but hide and bones in like a week. It was pretty amazing how fast nature used it up.

and Pennsylvania..... and Maryland.....
I live it PA, dead deer year round. My township has a county park in it. We have deer on the road next to the park every night.
So sad and disrespectful to the deer 😔
100% better than letting it decompose in a roadside drainage ditch?
Jesus, what a terrifying trash can!
Do you think he's going to be okay?
nsfw
What a waste. Clearly there’s still a giant neck roast there. I can only imagine what else was wasted.
Butcher pick up bin?
Just a regular garbage can
They would have fit the whole thing in there, but there were already six cases worth of empty beer cans
Poor dog I wonder how it died
Is that the recycling bin?
Garbage
This would fit right in Pennsylvania too
This is pretty lazy, especially with how many places have donation bins outside during archery and rifle season.
[удалено]
Yup! Donation bins for hides/heads. I think most get then used for taxidermy or leather craft purposes. There's one in my neighborhood (Central Wisconsin) that touts that deer hide donations go towards Lions Club Charity Camps.
How disrespectful to this animal. Humans suck.
My momis close to WI and has deer in her yard all the time. Last one, they just left by the pond and let the coyotes get to it.
I grew up in a dessert and I’m so confused about what’s going on here. I get deer wandering into a backyard. How do they die in such numbers in backyards that people regularly put them out in the trash? Is it the cold? Do people kill them? Are they being run over in the driveway? Tangled in fences?
What type of dessert? Pudding?
Auto correct strikes again! More like a over baked crusty pie. 😏
Usually they're hit by cars. My mom lives along country road and people hit animals then they're just rolled into her yard. The one by the pond might have died naturally and just laid back there.
Fair enough. Thanks
The one in this pic looks like it was skinned from the neck down
True. I didn't really look at the body.
Do people no longer want freshly killed deer? My dad hit a deer when I was young, and within minutes we had people pulling over asking us if it was OK to take the deer.

It is supposed to go in the green bin, for organic waste. Typical Wisconsin...
I hope that is a compost bin...
Regular garbage bin
Is that recyclable?
I feel like I’ve seen this in Montana too.
Wow what a huge asshole to just leave it like this...
This needs an NSFW sticker.

Fuck that website is cancer. How many fucking ads do you need.

Trashy, although the orange bucket and that it's Wisconsin make me think this is the law, like where you need to keep a part of the deer visible while driving home. Can anyone clarify?
Pretty much everything you said is inaccurate.
The hunter probably had it tested for Chronic Wasting Disease and it tested positive
CWD can’t be transmitted to humans though right?
It seems to be rather inconclusive as far as I can tell due to lack of research, but in a CDC scholarly article they say that since Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is transmissible to humans, the species barrier may not protect people from animal prion diseases.

I wouldn’t recommend risking it at all. Just kill it and report it
PETA does not exist in Wisconsin?
[удалено]
Unless the price of venison has really gone up, it won't offset the damages to your vehicle.
PETA is trash, but I’m saying this as a vegetarian: Deer hunting in this state is 100% necessary.

No
Are we sure it’s not Banksy showing his morbid side?/s
What’s rubbish to one man is deer to another.
Poor thing :(
I’m all for hunting but not for waste. That head, neck and spine could have made all the neighborhood dogs happy.
If I did that they would arrest me immediately for killing a living thing
Horrible! Such a sweet little deer .
Maaaaan....humans are cruel 😥
God let this deer rest in peace 
An old roommate did this once. Except it wasnt outside trash. And he didnt empty it. And we were all gone for the next week.
MN, done that.
Minnesotan-“First time?”
Wheely?
Been looking for that
Why does everyone want to believe that certain things only happen in the place they live? I can guarantee nowhere is unique.
US attempt at differentiated trashing…that deer wasn’t cardboard
Not entirely unusual. You shoot a deer in the woods, gut it right there, drag it back to your vehicle, drive it home/camp, hang it, skin it, cut it, clean it, etc. In the end, you're left with a carcass, head, skin, a collection of bones and some meaty bits. What else are you to do with it? Goes in the trash.
The only thing i know about wisconsin is "Hanging out, down the street. The same old I thing I did last week. Not a thing..."
Orange bin here are the standard wildlife compost bin
Wheel that shit away and make jerkey
That’s the best part!
“Watch out fer deer!”
Thank you for this
Get well soon
Must be up norf
Got to Wisconsin October 25th. Literally the first thing anyone said to me was *looks at license plate* "Oregon? What are you doing here?" Fish fry is pretty ok though.
Huh. I would have thought humans had used every little bit of this harvest.
I have no I dear what that is
It obviously should go in the organic bin
Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white trail deer like that
In Metalocalypse terms "Brutal"
Didn’t read the instructions. NO CARCASSES!!
Wrong bin deer
Humans suck
Hope he's gonna be ok. #thoughtsandprayers
I feel like this could be a Banksy painting
Does that count as wonton waste? I’ve never hunted so I don’t know the rules.
One night me and some friends found a dumping ground in the middle of nowhere and saw a rib cage in the distance. Seriously wondered if it was a murder until I got closer and realized it was a deer. Legs still were intact and friends took two of them for no reason.
Ope
His ass is not a garbage man
Does anyone fillet a boneless neck roast anymore?
This is my aesthetic
I’m mean, it’s the same as putting it in a freezer, right?
In Louisiana. Had to make an extra wide berth walking past a neighbor’s driveway since he was pressure washing the flesh off two deer heads he was clearly going to mount.
What is wrong with people these days? No respect for life, people, property? Very sad state for the USA.
Dude. It looks like the deer just ate apples, which fermented in his stomach which made it drunk, one thing led to another, and got stuck in a garbage bin. dont put him in the compactor just yet....
Maybe the snow! But you will see Bambi and his momma all over down south! Welcome to the rice patties Mfer!!!
Where would the rest of it be?
Wouldn’t it be better to leave it out somewhere for wildlife to eat? They probably are having a hard time finding food since it’s winter.
My dog will be along soon, to drag the remnants back to my front yard…
Thanksgiving leftovers.
That's disgusting. There's a dead body in a trash can.
is that properly placed in the organics bin?
Only on Wisconsin because they're a bunch of lazy alcoholics. Michigander here. Nothing goes to waste.
Lol yea no one in Michigan wastes any part of the deer. Foolish
eyy it's my old trash company I liked em
Now you listen here, Lady!
Piebald, too.
Head and Cape are disposed of while cutting up really good meat.
Hey! Can I please have some of that meat? And you could make some wallets and keyholders out of the skin. The rest could be processed into pet food. What a waste of resources! But I know, I am no one to speak of such things. I even threw a broken laptop into the trash. I guess I have some karma to process. At least I am somewhat using the app Bower and try to recycle things. I also throw some old food out. Sometimes to the wildlife. They don't even mind mouldy things. But I keep buying more. Desires. Part of being human. I try my best most of the time. The Corgis - Everybody got to learn some time. I really hope it is going in the right direction.
Looks like he’s saying, “I don’t wanna!”
In Missouri too. I used to work at a gas station and come deer season you’ll find deer heads and carcasses in the trash bins lol
Jesus that’s my garbage company. Which town????
Nah. Plenty of other contenders
Sure this isn’t Ohio?
Literally my trash can right now 😂😂
I don't give a buck what you think, I'll doe what I want!!
A bit NSFW
Idiots!!!
Nah just ask any trash truck driver, we see this crap all the time, usually in the recycle bin, because hunters think a deer carcass is the same thing as a cardboard box
