I have. After the buck ran into my new compact car and did over $1700
damage, you bet your deer he ended up in my freezer.

I wonder why it would be illegal?

We are almost out of deer meat. We got two this season and I love it, I
never taste any "gamey" taste to it and cook it like any other meat.
Spaghetti and deerballs is my favorite ;o)

Going back to my prosecutor days of 30 years ago,
my state at the time (Washington) had a law which
basically said that if you killed a deer while driving,
the carcass belonged to the state, and the meat was supposed to be
used to feed prisoners or others in
state custody. Converting the carcass to your own
use was punishable by fines and jail. I had first
heard that from my grandfather, who was a state
game officer. I don't know whether that is still the
law.

My memory of this is faint and I may be forgetting
some of the details. Nor can I speak for other
states.

Sounds like a holdover from English law concerning poachers.
Obviously, the game belongs to the Crown, and if we made
an exception for accidental vehicle hits, the poacher types would
just drive around trying to run down deer.

Maybe so, although intentionally driving one's car into
good sized deers would have to be one of the dumber
pastimes. I did have occasion to prosecute the oc-
casional poacher. They tended not to be among the
brighter or more ambitious people I have ever come
across.

It is in Tn, and yes, I've eaten roadkill deer.
The shoulder she took the bumper with was almost like hamburger. We tossed
that. The rest was fine.

Oddly, collecting road kill is illegal in most states.

I knew a police officer who used to take home fresh deer kills. He was
patrolling a 20 mile stretch of highway with a good deer population.
People usually call in a deer collision to get the police report for
insurance, but even if they didn't, he was patrolling up and down that
stretch of road often enough to know when he had a fresh one.

That is an expensive way to kill a deer. They can do a lot of damage to
a car.

I had a sumer job in an alloy smelting plant while attending university.
There was a guy in there who didn't like the student summer workers, and
we never thought much of him because he was so vocal and incredibly
stupid. He got got poaching deer back in his home province. The natural
resouces people used to prop up dead deer in a field near a road, close
enough that the headlights would light up their eys. The poachers would
stop, get out and take a shot. This guy fell for it and got caught
..... twice.

I know it's senseless, but it is in Texas. :-( Did not used to be if you
tagged it during hunting season but I'm told that that's changed.

Very wasteful.

Besides, it's a very expensive way to hunt deer. <g>

Here in PA I believe you have to contact the authorities when you hit a deer
and kill it. An officer or county game officer comes out, verifies that you
hit it with a car and weren't poaching and you can claim it for food. I
have hit two deer, both damn near totalled the vehicle and both times the
buck walked away,

I know a few people who totalled their cars hitting deer, one of twice.
Another hit on one and its head came right through the windshield
cracking his jaw and breaking a few of his teeth.

They aren't quite as bad as moose. If you hit a moose it could be fatal.
They are tall enough that the front end of the car hits them in the legs
and the body comes through the windshield. Not a pretty sight.

ABC’s PRIMETIME SHOW WIFE SWAP IS LOOKING FOR THE ULTIMATE ROADKILL
CLEANING FAMILY FOR PRIMETIME!

ABC’s primetime series “Wife Swap” is currently casting its fifth
season and looking for unique families with plenty of personality to
take part in the show. Specifically, we’re looking for moms and dads
who balance mother/fatherhood and picking up road kill! If your kids,
husband or wife are constantly trying to keep the roads clean of dead
animals, we want to hear from you! Families who participate in this
documentary-style program are given a unique opportunity to share
their beliefs and lifestyles with another family. It is truly a once
in a lifetime experience that can be life changing for everyone.

Each week on Wife Swap, the mothers from two families with different
values and belief systems will exchange lives. It’s an amazing family
experience and opportunity to learn how others really lead their
lives. Half of the week, mom lives the life of the family she is
staying with. After making her observations, she introduces several
"rule changes," where she implements rules and activities that are
important to her family. It's a positive experience for people to not
only learn but teach about other families and other ways of life. Wife
Swap airs on Disney owned ABC television on Fridays at 8 pm- the
family hour!

If you are a two-parent family with at least one child over the age of
6 living at home, and you think your family would make terrific TV,

needed to shoot it he asked me if I wanted it.

We had a highway, icy roads, no way to stop. Icy elk was called,

A lot, too, will depend on the cop.

If YOU don't haul it home, he's required to, then has to have the blood
cleaned out of the trunk of his patrol car.

That sounds about right; it would also prevent people from using their
car to "oops...kllled a deer...oh well...I can put it in my freezer
now" thinking. I think some states also donate the carcass to
homeless shelters as food.

Back in the days before everyone and his dog, Spartexticus, had a cell
phone, I used to have 3-4 people a year come to my door because they'd hit a
deer. I knew the encon (upstate NY) number by heart and the guy would
usually arrive at the same time as the tow truck. He'd ask if the driver
wanted the deer and since it was always early morning (foggy) the driver
would say no, since he/she was headed to work. Plus, the vehicle was toast,
so how would they get it home? The encon guy would then ask if I wanted it,
and I always said no. He'd haul it into the truck and head off . I have no
idea what he did with it. I do know that he had to be called when a deer was
hit, you couldn't just decide to take the deer away on your own.

I, personally, have never ate anything. I have eaten stuff. But never
ever have I ate anything. I have been known to sixty-eight stuff. And 69
too. But I cannot recall ever having ate anything. No, not even
roadkill. Once I ate Chef Boyardee from a can, though. Does that count?
