I would agree that killing and leaving them where they fall is pretty messed up, but I wonder why the guy is doing it?

While you might enjoy watching them walk through the woods, deer can become pests very quickly. If they are eating his crops, destroying his lawn, chasing his pets, etc. I can see him wanting to get rid of them. Like I said though, leaving the rotting bodies laying there is just asking for disease.

That being said, if you know that he is a reasonable person, talk to him at first. Tell him you are disturbed at seeing the dead bodies every time you drive home, and that it's asking for disease. I would be real careful about ratting him out, for such a violation can bring prison time for him. Sending your neighbor to prison for a month or two is a great way to get a huge fued going on. Remember, you are using his property as a driveway. I know you have a right to it because of the 50ft easement, but you still have to respect the guy enough to confront him before you go to the police/gamewarden/etc. He may just tell you why he was doing it, it could very well be a good reason, and he might stop doing it if he knows you are seeing whats going on and its bothering you.
