I didn't save the hide because my Havalon knife made Swiss cheese out of it.
Isn't that like telling the officer "I was just driving along when all of a sudden my Chrysler hit the guy in the crosswalk"? :chuckle:

Yes, it's exactly the same thing.

I personally got a good look (over multiple days) at the carcass. There was a ton of meat left on it. On one hike, the end of it came out on an old road next to where it lay. Each time I passed it, I got mad.  It was laying in full view of the road that passed it. I thought many times about dragging it out of view, just to preserve the image of hunters. But, then again, I wanted people to see how sloppy some are.

The last deer I took out of that area, I used just about every scrap of meat. We process the animal ourselves. We have a bin that even the smallest scrap of meat goes into to make burger into. I use some of the rib meat to make Jerky.

Not a poached deer - or at least no evidence it was.  It was not killed there, somebody dumped the hide and carcass after processing the animal.  There is at least a possibility of wastage, it was not unreasonable to call. 

It is also not unreasonable for the wildlife officers, in the midst of modern firearms deer season, to not waste a lot of limited resources on a relatively minor offense, with little potential to identify the offender, and no certainty there is a violation.  They are chasing much more important calls.  Many more potential violations are detected and reported than can be addressed, the officer's decision to triage a call should not be questioned. 

I would also suggest that perhaps it is an inexperienced hunter, or possibly self-taught, rather than a slob.  Nobody in my family hunted, and I was hunting solo when I killed my first animal (a pronghorn doe).  Guess what?  I didn't know about the hanging tenderloins, and didn't recognize there was anything there other than fat and drying blood and sinew - they got dumped with the carcass.  Pretty funny when I think about the time I spent getting every shred of rib, neck, leg and back meat. 

I like the post and discussion, except for the bashing - especially by guys who got cited for a serious poaching crime that someone else legitimately called in, and now think anyone who reports a violation is a snitch.  Grow up.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I blew out a front shoulder this year, I had bone fragments in the meat.  I also packed it out.  Then when I got home, I was like, why did I bring this home?  It's blown out, I got about a pound of meat of the thing and threw it away.  I wish I would have left it, it wasn't worth the aggravation.

That crunchy blood marmalade is actually pretty tasty. 
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
