Had a group of people that would go out to game versus auto accidents and reclaim the meat from the game and a portion of it was donated to the food bank and the county jail. Someone sued to stop the prisoners from being fed road kill. Now they eat lunch meat.. Fried lunch meat... Not allowed to give it to the food bank any longer as well. Today we have dead game laying along the roads.. Well, sort of.. People do not like wast..
Goverment has to control.......ALL......aspects of peoples lives.. Trouble with that is , Some of us can be NAUGHTY boys...
I still to this day take road kill home as long as it's fresh and it's not busted open a lot of deer run into the side of vehicles and die no busted guts or any thing just dead.
I have marvelled at the lack of road kill along the roads this past winter.. Have been looking to get some hides and this would be an opportunity not to pass up.. Only ones I have seen have been messed up..
We have "road kill"lists here, that hunters sign up for. When a deer vs car happens, the sherrif gives you a call, and you come claim it. Usually good for at least 1/3 of the usual yield. (Free meat, some of it already tenderized) . I know several hunters on that list.
Road kill?! SICK! I only eat organically raised, free range pre-tenderized meat products that are placed conveniently by public byways.
Sounds like you have to get a permit and get on a call list. So @Meat how much did the permit cost you?
