I like to think karma will win in the end, it's the only peace I can find with this type of waste.  Generally, I think what goes around comes around.  Maybe they'll come back as a dung beatle.

My son and I were fishing under a bridge one day and a carcas came bailing over the rail with the head and hams cut off I made a quick call to the D.N.R. and they caught the jackass it was my wifes cousin there has been a fued over that ever since. ;D

Josh:
I hate seeing stuff like this but it's everywhere.  It seems many people have forgotten the old ways and became monsters of the woods.  It is such a disgrace and disappointment that this is the direction that being an "outdoorsman" is taking.  Cause you know this is what they are teaching their kids.  It's really sad.   :-[

We have big problems with elk poachers here in Northern Arizona. It doesn't help that people come here and set up with signs that say "I buy elk antlers---cash paid". Why? Well, evidently elk antler is a big thing in Asian folk medicine. Hey, whatever floats your boat, but do it legally! It's disgusting to see hundreds of pounds of prime meat and broth bones go to waste so some jerk can take the antlers and make a few bucks. They caught one ring of elk poachers here last year. A ring of them!!! All after antlers. And the whole ring was set up with fences to transfer the stuff---just like a ring of thieves. Of course, that's what they are.

Then we had some clowns a few years back that shot and killed some burros. Why? Why do people get kicks out of killing like that? Kinda scares you.

And even when people go into the woods looking for naturally-shed elk antlers, these guys physically fight over those! Geez, people, come on!

Every year, elk carcasses are found here with just the antlers gone. It's illegal in this state to knowingly let any edible portion of a game animal go to waste. But so much emphasis is placed here on "THE RACK" that the meat isn't job one. Lots of it goes bad. I've seen elk camps where there was several meals worth of meat left behind. It looked like the butchering was done by a bush hog. Rope left up in the tree with legs attached. Yeah, gotta get the head to the taxidermist ASAP! The meat can wait. Geez, get a life... ::)

Sounds like you are hunting with honor and integrity .. good on you brother.. There is no excuse for head hunters and poachers who kill for nothing more than antlers, they are killers not hunters.Nothing new, buffalo hunters did it for years until the herds were nearly wiped out for the hides. Rest assured that your honorable teachings and ethical  hunting practices will ensure a future for our sport, and nature will eventually catch up with the evil doers. Hawk a/ho
