Heading down to the Colony to work on some cages that I needed to finish up with what parts I had to make them with, needed a couple doors and trigger rods and they have a cage clipper that is fast. On the way down I see coons laying just off of the shoulder of the State Hwy so on the back I stopped and yep the tails were gone and they had been there a while. What kind of idiot would do that it makes no sense but that guy is out there someplace. Not sure if it's the local poacher family or some bounty trappers that are clueless.

The line of work you have been in, I would think this would be of no surprise to you.

Back in the early 80's, a friend of mine dumped a bunch of fox carcasses over a county road bridge, and that ill-advised action alone spurned satanist rumors all over town.
People thought there were dog sacrifices going on, Lol.
Dumping carcasses off a bridge, or in a road ditch....Not cool at all.

Pretty sure its illegal to dump any animal carcasses in a public ROW, especially a state highway, even before the bounty program. Plenty of no-brains out there, subsidize an activity to the general public and enough of them will surface. I hope any examples caught get maxed out with fines.
My youngest kid and his friend took in a dozen tails today. The critters were all actually trapped. I think the stinker component (nearly tied for first place) was getting to them. Surprisingly, the grinner count was in 3rd place. One of their coon was "really red" (so I was told) so maybe got some off color genes out of the pool. No diggers or reddie tails in the tally. I've gotten some skulls. They were happy. My kid won't have much interaction with wildlife for the next 4 years starting in mid-July so he won't be doing any trapping until probably at least 2023, especially if he's stationed overseas.
