Looking at this from the outside in......I just have to wonder what everybody is so upset about?
Is it because the leg meat was not taken?
I don't care for wild turkey legs. Every bird I've killed for the past several years has been breasted out just like the ones in the picture. If somebody wants the fans or the wings (lately a traditional arrow builder has been taking my gobbler wings) I remove them.....other than that the remainder of the carcass gets tossed over the bank behind the house just like you see in the picture.

So is it the wasted meat or the supposition of poaching?
Both, from my perspective.

Leaving the carcass or gut pile laying out bothers me. Take care of it!!!!

I was assuming this was found out in the area where he was hunting and so the assumption was they were poached. I guess it could have been carcasses of legally tagged birds. I admit I just toss my carcasses in the back field for coyotes and scavengers to pick over. I don't keep beards, tails wings or anything but meat. I don't like the legs but we cut the meat off them and cook it for the dogs or give it to someone who wants it.

So how does everyone dispose of carcasses, especially when your out of state. I have asked motels if I can throw them in their dumpster, and a few have let me. In one state I hunt often I asked a game warden once what I should do. He promptly told me where they dump road kill and other carcasses behind the area headquarters and said throw them there. All he asked was we do it during business hours and stop at the office and tell someone. I've never had an offer like that anywhere else.

That's poacher s.Call it in immediately. Sometimes somebody has seen something.Look for footprints,  other sign, shells, these are punks, of the lowest form, who do this kind of thing.
