Spoonbill Carcasses at Baxter ?

[skeeter]

Not sure what is going on here but thought it was worthwhile to report to the local MDC Agent.  Our Daughter and Grandson decided to do a little Sunday evening fishing off the bank down around the Baxter launch ramp and courtesy dock. 

They came back after dark with pictures on their phones of very large heads and carcasses of several Spoonbill that had been butchered at the ramp.  No one was still around so no idea who was there. Normal Spoonbill snagging area is far away from Baxter by water, way up the James arm.

Likely somebody from that area that cleaned there fish there after they got home and took pictures.

That is totally normal.  Don't think I can remember a year since snagging started that Baxter Ramp did not have several cleaned at the dock.  I'll bet your Bippy that a local has cleaned his there for years.
