Our best guess is that it is someone who walks (well most people walk) but walks like we do (“the walkers”). Someone in a car, even a stopped car, would never be able to toss their empty beer cans so accurately into this boggy area around the same fallen tree on a regular basis. It must be a walker and they probably do it at night. We rarely walk after dark so that would explain why we have never run into them.
By now I assume some neighbors think Peggi and I are the Bud freaks because they have spotted us carrying the empties back. The culprit probably has an OCD problem as well as a drinking problem. I mean you could get rid of an empty anywhere but these are always in exactly the same spot. I’ve thought about putting up a camera like the one Steve Grieve has out in the marsh to photograph deer but then I wonder if maybe there already is a camera up here photographing Peggi and I as we habitually pick up the cans.
Budweiser is not using their patriotic can design anymore (type Budweiser in the search engine on this page to see the other entries on this subject) and how about that one can (above) that is taller than the rest. Budweiser has taken their 24 ounce can up a notch. This one goes to 25.

could be the walker/drinker goes out for a walk and starts drinking. Gets to the same spot every time as the can gets emptied, and drops it there. A walking/drinking routine.
Sounds like a perfectly innocent routine except for the littering part but the introduction of the 25 ounce can would have him finishing his beer one ounce further down the road. Or maybe he moved an ounce further away from this destination and now finishes at exactly the same point. Or maybe he’s stayed put and is drinking faster.
I vote for option C.
