Deer carcasses litter Michigan state land
Authorities claimed that the deer were dumped mistakenly on the land by a new Road Commission employee.
According to USA Today, Smith discovered the pile of decomposing deer 200 yards from her house in Weare Township.
She contacted the state Department of Natural Resources and the Oceana County Road Commission but wasn't able to get an explanation.
Authorities however took action following an article published by the Oceana County Press.
A representative from the Road Commission had called Smith to explain that a new employee left the carcasses on the land by mistake.
The deer have been removed and authorities have sent in an apology to the complainant concerning the issue.
Smith seemed to be satisfied when she said, “The deer are gone and that's the only thing I wanted,”
“I don't want any of the coyotes or the creepy crawlies that would have drawn. Or the smell and stench.
"I’m a happy girl.”
The Road Commission confirmed that there is a policy that allows the dumping of deer at the site, but only one at a time.
