Yep I have taken a couple deer that I witnessed being hit or drove up on soon after the accident happened.

In Ontario picking up road kill has been legal for as long as I have lived here. It's some small consolation after you've run into a moose to be able to take it home ... in another vehicle that's not totaled out.

I cannot believe that some game warden would actually say road kill animals "go to waste" if not picked up. They never go to waste as long as Mother Nature stays at the helm. But therein lies the most important reason for allowing folks to pick up roadkill anytime and any place. It helps keep the scavengers off the road and they probably cause nearly as many serious accidents as the animals they're trying to clean up.

My Cajun co-workers in Lafayette (pronounced laugh-ayette), Louisiana would regularly bring in roadkill on the way to work with one driving and the other dressing in the pickup bed. That there are laws regardless is ridiculous. What do these government fools think happens to the meat anyway? These yahoos probably think that milk comes from the store instead of the cow.

That photo is great. It should be a poster with the caption "Not my job!"

I have eaten multiple roadkill deer, it is a great way to make sure that a bad situation does a little bit of good.

In PA you need to get an official document from the Game Commission to legally possess road killed deer...and if it has antlers, the Game Commission will take them.

I will always pick up a game bird I have hit with a vehicle, if it's not too messed up. Never have worried much about the legality of it either.

Several years ago while taking our annual Mother's Day road trip to a town a few hours south of the border, my wife clipped a ruff grouse. It was in pretty good shape so I tossed it in the back of the van with our brown lab (she got a kick out of that!). When we came back into Canada the border guard asked me if I had anything to declare. "Just a roadkill grouse." He thought I was kidding, then got kinda mad when he discovered I wasn't. But we still ate it for dinner the next evening.

I own an old road kill cookbook. Looks like now I can brake it out!

The maggots chowing underneath the skin of the well worn roadkill are a high protein meal too, and good bait for bluegills.
