I used to eat lots of roadkills. Up in the 'burbs deer get knocked off left and right during the fall. I had a police scanner (10-50 car vs. deer) and when there was one within a couple miles I would go pick it up. (provided it wasn't all mangled) I even had an electric winch mounted to the bed of my truck and a smooth ramp the deer would slide up.

My sister came with me a couple times. You can picture it. Two young women (it was awhile ago!) standing next to a truck parked on the shoulder of the road. A dead deer with a cable around it's neck slowly being dragged up into an old pickup truck. Cars zipped by, but we could still catch the bewildered looks on people's faces.

It was really cheap and tasty burger.

My mom started introducing me to her friends as, "This is my daughter, she eats roadkills". [:-] [:-]

K and I did pick up one roadkilled deer last year. We fed it to the dogs.
