A Terrible find, DEC called

[erussell]

Found a dump site along the Susquehanna river between Vestal and Owego NY one time while Kayaking. There were litterally 100's of deer piled up. I think they compost them now and dont dump them in Broome County. They have a big wood chipper thing that grinds them up and spits them out.

With 100's of deer piled up, the stench must have been terrible. We had a bad winter kill one year, snow and ice was real high, and in the spring, when we we back up to camp, there were close to 20 deer dead in one area by the stream. Coyotes or whatever got em and a lot of them had there heads knawed off at the necks. Most of our coyote dens are on the other side of the property. Either the deer died naturally or they were chased. From what it looks like, they must bring the head back to the den to feed the pups. But we had a hell of a cleanup. The stench was terrible. We had two areas like that on the property, closer to the residential area, where they made their lanes in the heavy snow.

Well it was spring and still a little cold so it wasnt really bad till you got right on top of it. Then yes it was bad. We ran off gagging.
