I R a Red Neck![:o] Sorry couldn't resist. Yep I've eaten road kill. Actually depends where it was hit. Front shoulders are OK, cause there's not much meat there anyway. Just took the tenders, backstraps and both rear haunches. Yum, Yum. If they've been hit in the rear, there's usually not much to salvage. Jello...Yuck!

, the few times i have tried the meat was so blood shoked it was useless, i have non hunters call me from time to time telling me somebody hit a deer,do i want it? i guess it would depend on how it got hit or run over, if it was the head only and i could get some quarters out of it i probably would, hit near the rear, i'm not touching it[:'(]

, now thats some fine eatin, plus most times you aint got to gut em

Used to years ago but get enough of my own venison now. In NJ you have to get a tag from the police and it is illegal to take even the rack off a buck if you don't have that tag. Silly isn't it? Does anyone have these laws in other states?

Last night I cut the spikes off a road kill for my son. He liked how small it was!

Don't tell anyone!

I have on a couple of occasions. My mother hit a deer back about 8-9 years ago and the police let her bring it home. I's a messy job to process the deer as a collision with a car makes a mess of the animal. blunt trama isn't pretty under the hide.

I also know a guy who's the local harbor master and he generally gets the calls if the person who hits the deer dosn't want it. H'e give me a few 5lb bags of venison sausage that is absolutely delicious.

I'm not into eating opossum or racoon or squirell or pole kitty but a fresh deer kill shuldn't IMO be passed up. You won't get as much meat as if it were shot with a bow but anything that is recovered is better then letting the deer rot. If the a particular quarter looks bad then scrap it. If you can only salvage 1 side of the deer that ok too.

I havent tried it it nor seeing myself doing it unless i was the one who hit it. I would only keep that deer bc it costed me enough in car repairs. Sick i know but other then that i dont see i would.

I have eaten "roadkill" more than once. I actually got to work one day and found out a person had just hit one on the road and ran out there with a friend and the deputy put it down with some buckshot, so it wasn't even dead when I got there. It would have gone to waste otherwise. That particular deer was hit in the front, and both hindquarters and the backstraps were in perfect condition. Tasted great!
