DON'T KNOW WHERE YA'LL ARE FROM, BUT HERE IN MICHIGAN YOU ONLY NEED TO STAND ON A FREEWAY OVERPASS THE WEEKEND AFTER FIREARMS SEASON OPENS AND WATCH THE DEER COME DOWN ON TOP OF CARS, BACK OF TRAILERS...YOU NAME IT. HECK, THE DEER GET SO STIFF UP HERE, SOMETIMES YOU CAN JUST WALK THEM OUT OF THE WOODS. see attachment below:

Some guys pick up road kill that they wouldn't eat themselves but gring all the meat and feed it to their dogs. But who knows if ................

it was a real deer.

a decoy.

legal kill.

Because it was a hilarious sight. We just couldn't agree on what somebody would be doing with a cold, dead deer he picked up by the side of the road in the middle of the night. It'd be one thing if it was a decoy or he'd shot it 12 hours previous or something, but it didn't look that way.

Maybe he has a pet hyena.

Another was hit right in front of us on the way back home, and we didn't count but there were many along the side of the highway. Seems like there's more than corn in Indiana.

Happy hunting.

Some people in this world make me question their sanity.

Justfishin - you mention the guy getting the deer mounted (whole). Why would you think he would be getting it mounted. Very few deer are mounted whole.

nothing wrong with eat'n road kill. they have to be fresh for me to pick one up though, like hit within a half hour. the only way i have ever seen meat unfit to eat from being hit by a vehicle is when there is bone fragments buried densley throughout a section of meat. most of the time you can get all of the bone out.
