Road kill ain’t bad.
Only in instances of 32F or less.
But that’s where we have been hanging out, on those fringes, since we have inhabited the zone between the Steppes and Scotland. So a fresh but old mammoth = freezer meat.
Mommy, what’s for dinner?
The UN must be looking into this.
Carrion my wayward son, there’ll be meat when you are done.
That’s a rare two-fer. Well-played!
Lewis & Clark documented in great detail the various nations encountered on the Upper Missouri. When hard times hit starvation was real. The Expedition ate their moccasins at one point. Not quite as bad as it sounds, these were brand new, unissued moccasins they had built up a stock of several hundred pairs because they didn’t last long.
When the word went out that a couple hunters had successfully bagged a couple deer a couple miles away, some of the Indians started running at a full gallop, by the time Lewis arrived at the scene it was like nothing he had ever seen or imagined! They ate everything. As in everything but the hooves. Raw. In particular he described two guys fighting over the entrails or intestines. They were consuming the contents of the intestines, etc. It was apparently not a genteel affair, they had turned it into a contest as they worked each end towards the middle.
Fur trapper accounts noted that in the spring thousands of dead Buffalo would be found drowned in the Missouri in the spring, and some Indians preferred the Buffalo that had putrified, liquified and turned green.
Many states will allow for what’s called a salvage tag in that situation. Gotta be careful of broken glass.
Well, with a side of coleslaw...

Where I live, any deer on the road that wasn’t there an hour before will not be there long enough for some person to zip home for a trash bag to spread in the trunk to get it back home for the dogs.
Northern Exposure had a lot of fun with mammoths thawing out of the Alaskan permafrost
In May, riding with my sister in her Mercedes, recently named “Deerslayer”, a deer ran into the side of the car and landed in the middle of the road. A couple of good ol’ boys stopped to help us, and one moved the deer off to the side of the road. I was hoping he would come back in a few minutes with the right equipment to get it home for food. Maybe he did.
If we are going with OOA you would be trying to get those dead decaying animals from things like hyenas.
Yeah.....
I am going to go hunt me a dikdik or throw a stick at a bird or something.
But you have fun!
How hungry have you actually been?
BBQ Sauce and Hot Sauce was invented soon after the first carrion meal. 😬
