SOUTH SALT LAKE — State conservation officials say they recovered five dozen waterfowl, including 59 ducks, that were hunted in Idaho and illegally left for waste in a Utah dumpster last week.
The 59 ducks and one Western grebe were discovered in a dumpster in an industrial part of South Salt Lake and reported to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, said DWR conservation officer Josef Lehr on Thursday. There was no attempt to salvage meat from the birds.
Officials said they were able to identify an individual involved in the case. After a short investigation, they determined the birds were harvested in Idaho before they were brought to and dumped in Utah, with multiple individuals involved.

Looks like some coots on top the toolbox

If this happened in Louisiana the only thing illegal would be the shooting of the grebe
Our wanton waste laws only state that an attempt to retrieve game must be made
After it’s retrieved, it’s yours to do what you want...throw it in the woods, feed it to the dog

Looks like good judgement by the hunters to not eat nasty arse ducks

Louisiana needs to do better with that. Not a good look.
Was this an outfitter dumping ducks? About half of the duck hunters I know down here don't really care to eat ducks. I'm usually given as many as I want every year.

Duck is delicious. I'll take any free ones. Lol
I was taught at an early age not to kill anything unless you are going to eat it. Off course animals attacking your chickens, threatening you, damaging your house that does not apply.
It seems morally wrong to me to kill a bunch of ducks and let the meat go to waste.
So our Louisiana laws basically say buy licenses, gear, guide fees, ammo, spend $$$. But the actual waterfowl we don't care about?

Would you rather green jeans looks over your shoulder to make sure you prepare your birds in the proper manner?

Same. We've never had a problem finding people to take some ducks off our hands when we need to.

I’ve actually heard about that happening in salt lake before.

Now that I'm thinking about it, aren't migratory waterfowl federally managed? Would that fall under some sort of federal wanton waste law if one exists?
I end up with a few deer shoulders/hindquarters every year from vendors/coworkers as well. I usually toss a couple roasts or bags of ground meat their way. Even if I didn't hunt I could make sure a good portion of what I eat was wild game just from me mooching off of folks who don't want to deal with their meat.

No. If you think about it, you can’t legislate it. What would you say? All game must be eaten or given away?
Lots of people would be in violation when they discover that 4 year old pack of deer meat in the bottom of the chest freezer and throw it out

No, but you can say don't leave it in the field to rot.

That’s what our wanton waste laws already say. You have to make an attempt to retrieve.
You can throw it in the dumpster once it’s retrieved
Where do you draw the line?

Shot in Idaho, transported to Ut and dumped. A really weird story.

Being wasteful is very subjective. You can ride around Venice marina and find blue and green wing teal with just the breast meat fileted out floating down the canal. Pretty wasteful in my book.

Its tough. I'd love to see some sort of stipulation to process any game taken. But I didn't go to lawyer school and don't know how all of that works.

The lines already been drawn. I would like to believe most birds are consumed approximately.

Wanton waste is more tied to limits. If duck hunters don’t retrieve birds they could keep hunting because of “possession limits”. There is no law that requires anyone to do anything with waterfowl once they leave the field.
You may find it morally reprehensible but wanton waste laws aren’t really to prevent waste of waterfowl. Now big game is a bit different and the intention is a bit different.
