‘Illegal and tacky’: Deer carcasses and baked beans dumped in Kansas ditch, official says

Deer carcasses and aluminum containers with the remnants of baked beans were found illegally dumped in a public ditch Friday, the McPherson County Sheriff’s Office said.

“With little info at this time, it appears the deer may have been taken lawfully, however, their disposal at this location is both illegal and tacky,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post which also cites Kansas law forbidding the dumping of animals on public property. “Improperly disposing of these animals and your left over baked beans, looks bad for our (community) ... and the reputation of hunters everywhere.”

A deputy found the “several” deer carcasses and baked beans Friday on Mohawk Road, the sheriff’s office said.
