When we had this discussion a couple of winters ago, it was all about duck hunters dumping duck carcasses in a field there. Could that be the case?

This field is half ways between Edison and the east 90. Right by the tiger float if you know where that is. It might have been a deer carcass that had been hit on the road and made it to the center of the field. But years ago, I was told that someone who raises sheep dumps the bodies of sheep who don’t make it through lambing. Does anyone know more about this? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of sheep in this area. I have seen quite a few eagles in this area before but I have never heard more on why the carcasses where there. Gary?
