(Nov. 22) -- With turkey prices at an all-time high this year, you may want to seriously consider serving another type of meat at your Thanksgiving dinner -- roadkill -- since it's fresh, fast and free.

"This time of year is perfect for nabbing a deer on the road. The rut is on, and bucks are only thinking about romance, so they're being much more careless about crossing busy roads to get to the does," Peterson told AOL News. "In these next three weeks, there are very high chances for fresh meat straight off the road."

You’re in trouble now as that photo belongs to Fish Hawk’s sister who lives about 4 miles north of me...

Thanks! I’m gonna make Snow Ice Cream! I have the dried blueberries ready to go, but it’s always a hassle finding walrus fat, LOL!

Oh. I guess I can use seal or reindeer fat, so no problem...

(Gawd! I can’t imagine making this! I cooked down a bunch of venison fat to make suet one hunting season and it took a month to get the stink out of my house!)

I hope you're trying to be witty with that remark? This is the same guy that found my cell phone number and has been texting me smut and then he blocks my return calls to him so the FBI TSA can't trace his calls...
