OK, here’s a quick quiz. Which of the following would you consider the bigger slob?

a) Someone who shoots a deer just so it can be used as bait to attract eagles for viewing?

b) Someone who shoots a deer out of season for any reason?

c) Someone who uses more than 100 gallons of bait — that’s 50 times the legal amount in the Upper Peninsula — to attract deer?

d) Someone who shoots a deer, strips its backstraps out and leaves the rest.

It’s a tough call. Each of the above behaviors is reprehensible, disgusting and gives legitimate, law-abiding deer hunters a bad name. Well, here’s the good news: YOU DON’T HAVE TO CHOOSE! The very same morons did all those things!

OK, so no one has been convicted yet. But conservation officers from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment are pursuing charges. They say they received a citizen complaint about a large bait pile in a remote area of Delta County. When they checked out the offending deer camp, they found the massive bait pile, a blood trail and a freshly killed deer on the ice of a nearby lake.

When the owner and his pack of imbeciles returned from snowmobiling, they admitted the whole thing. And they still had the backstraps.

Genius.
