"Retrieval of game
Anyone who kills or injures a deer must make a reasonable effort to retrieve and include the animal in his or her season limit, but this does not authorize trespass. It is a violation to wantonly leave or abandon commonly edible portions of game." Taken straight off of Missouri Conservation website.

Oklahoma has a "Wanton Waste" law which prohibits killing any game animal and just leaving the parts you don't want and taking the parts you do. You must make every possible effort to retrieve the animal and not let it go to waste. I think it is sad that we even have to have such laws, but we do because not everyone that ventures out into the woods is an ethical person.

I have found a deer shot and lost by some other hunter. The meat was inedible, as I have no idea how long it had lain there. It smelled. I cut off the rack and took it home. This may have appeared like waste of game, but it wasn't, unless you count the person who shot it and let it get away.
