I know a coworker hit a deer with his truck on his way to the hunting ground at 4am.. deer was still alive but on the side of the road by couple close by residences. he called 911.. cops showed up.. was about to shoot it with his service gun until my coworker suggested he could do it quieter by using a bow and arrow.. lol. Police report was done and he took the deer home.
Haven't hit a deer with a car.. but..Is that all you have to do?
I have had MANY near misses but I don't butcher. Butcher needs a tag. I thought there was a way to report it to DNR and get a tag #? But I could not find out how to do this.
If I hit a deer in season and it was cold enough, I'd want to field dress it and get to butcher quickly.

Most of the posts have been about "roadkill Deer", what about that tasty squirrel or possum that you might want to take home?
Roadkill is more than "deer", why does it have to be like that, squirrels, possums, chipmunks and let's not forget skunks all deserve to be classified as roadkill!
After all this is Maryland, the Maryland AG should be notified of a possible lawsuit that he can file!
Um. If you see a ran over squirrel for example. do you think you'll have a salvageable meat to eat? LolMost of the posts have been about "roadkill Deer", what about that tasty squirrel or possum that you might want to take home?

cant win on posting photos. they are always sidewards even if i rotate them before posting.
State Police has a Road kill tag they can give you but none of them carry it. An index card with a case number is good enough. DNR always has roadkill tags on them.
