Every day I see more dead deer on the sides of the roads around here, and same situation in many states, especially this time of year. If you hit a deer and kill it, I don’t see any reason why not to butcher it, cook it and eat it. If it’s not been dead for too long, there’s nothing wrong with it, unless it’s been severely mangled by a 70 mph 18 wheeler. Better in colder weather though, it spoils fast in warmer weather.
100% agree.
In some places, it is legal to claim road kills. But there are cases where it has been abused and people arrested for poaching,
Oregon allows that.
Road kill cuisine is a real thing here in these United States, where food (in or out of season, all year round) is more available, plentiful, and cheap than anywhere at any time in history. So, I found this pretty compelling. That reminds me, I’ve got to clean the Car-B-Q.
