(AP) -The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is investigating after about 300 snow geese were killed and left piled on a road.

According to The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission the dumping of the birds happened sometime between February 19th and February 27th a half mile south of Highway 8 along 649 Avenue, west of Falls City.

Thousands of snow geese are migrating through Nebraska and there is no hunting limit on the birds. But Nebraska Game and Parks officials say it is illegal not to clean and properly dispose of the birds.

Those involved could face misdemeanor charges if they didn't have proper hunting permits or stamps. They could also face misdemeanor charges for littering a waterway and wanton waste.
