[USER=65293]@Hecouldgoalltheway[/USER] I see your point. I see the others as well. Both make sense. Everything good and bad flows downhill and you are correct, a lot of sick or wounded critters will likely die very near water. Personally, I've not dropped carcasses into a waterway, but doesn't mean it's wrong. Probably a lot of personal opinions flying around on this thread. Don't know if there is a right and wrong here. I've always been taught to take care of the water best we can which leads to my personal thoughts on the matter. I think it also comes down to how I want others viewing us as hunters. Don't want an anti seeing a pile of carcasses in the crick and making a racket about how the "hunters are polluting the waterway". Even worse, someone "on the fence" about hunting. That dump site could sway their mind and turn them into an anti! Is it illegal? IDK. 'Spose every state has their regs, but if not, just 'cause it ain't illegal doesn't make it ok, but yet that's just another opinion.
