County commissioners say the deer carcass containers that the county has placed near popular hunting areas have proved very successful – in fact they are asking that the county landfill empty the containers more often. Commissioners said there are two reasons for doing that, one is that the containers are being filled quickly but there is also the issue that animals are getting into the containers and scattering the deer parts. Commissioner Bevin Putnal said he doesn’t know who’s killing all the deer but they sure are killing a bunch of them. This is the second year that the county has placed containers so deer hunters can dispose of deer carcasses legally. There are four containers strategically located near popular hunting areas. The containers are near Airport and Brownville Road outside Apalachicola, at Bear Creek off State Road 65 in Eastpoint. They can also be found at Gully Branch off State Road 67 and Cypress Slough both outside of Carrabelle. The containers are there so that hunters will be less inclined to toss the carcasses off the side of the road or in local waterways. The carcasses that are collected are either incinerated or used in the county’s composting project.
