I always ask the land owner, when securing permission to hunt, if he wants them removed from his land or left in an obscure part of his property. Most have no problem with leaving them lay. However I do have a secret dumping place far from houses, buildings when I'm asked to remove them. I too wouldn't be putting the carcasses in a dumpster. Don't want or need the trouble.

It think it's VERY important that we understand that HOW the public views what we do affects us ALL as predator hunters.
While there is some good information in this thread, there's also some bad advice that could reflect on us all very poorly indeed.
Proper disposal of the remains of an animal isn't only contained to predator hunters, but hunters in general.
Safe, remote, proper disposal of all game should be in the forefront of our minds when we deal with this.
In the few cases where hunters were seen dumping carcasses, or the carcasses themselves were seen by the general public after dumping them within public view, it WAS made into a big deal, and the press got involved. THAT'S not the kind of "press" we need or want.
In some cases, the ANTI HUNTING crowd has used this against us. There are pictures of dump piles now on the sites that try and stop all predator hunting.
In still other cases, the ANTI's spread mis-information about how we dispose of animals during contests, and even with the PM Hunt. One anti was qouted as telling the press that the town where an evernt was held should not allow it because ..."all they do is drive around town & leave the carcasses laying in people's driveways and the streets."
THIS is the misinformation that the anti's push and thrive on, and the general public doesn't know any better, unless we show them. (Or NOT show them in this case.)
The bottom line is that we need to be careful with what we do with the carcasses, and realize that we are representing ALL hunters when we do it.
Thanks,
