    At some point, an assumption is a reasonable assumption. Stereotypes don't come out of nowhere.

    Is it possible it was roadkill and someone decided to take the carcass home?

    Not impossible but unlikely. It's also illegal without a trappers license and registered trap line

    Personally I would say it's on the early side for a trapper to be collecting roadkill but not impossible but unlikely

    totally agree with you there. Just takes a few asshats to eff everything up for the rest of us. bit of a stretch to accuse anyone without anymore info.

    I agree with you and I am a 'whity'.

    Expect unfair and even racist comments though. Internet forums (including HBC) are not necessarily fair in what is published.
    . . . . .If I don't respond to your postings, maybe it is because you are on my "IGNORE" list
    . . . . . . . . . . . . I don't see the garbage you write. It's a wonderful tool
