Seems to me that if I hit an animal with my vehicle while traveling down the road, and that animal damages my vehicle, and the animal dies from the impact or has to be put down anyways, I should be able to keep the meat and antlers for myself, if I want it. It is that way here in CO. and it is that way in KS. Having to pay for, or buy, an animal that just caused me an expense already, just seems, well, wrong!!
On edit, it's not like you went out and poached the animal! And having to pay more for larger antlers, sheez. That's goofy!
