    Default can,t find ROAD KILL any where?

    where did all the road kill go are times that hard up? don,t know a few years ago
    one could find possum a plenty,coon deer,skunk,. but these days one would be hard pressed to find anything.
    gotta buy our meat at the store now (just kidding) but seriously where are all the dead critters going?

    has anyone noticed a lack of road kill in you neck of the woods so to speak?

    Not at all...daily splatters around here. Nothing good like a viable deer but plenty of roadkill in general.

    Our roadkill generally also involves ambulances. The meat goes to the food bank or who ever is next up on the list that the troopers keep who can come right away to get it.

    Lots of turkeys and beaver and muskrats here. I saw a big old yote the other day. Not too many deer this time of year.
    Pretty soon it will be turtles and skunks and porcupines.

    your area may be in a down cycle in regards to animal population density
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    Seeing a lot of skunk and armadillo here, more than I've ever seen.
    The usual deer, raccoon, and coyote.
    When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!

    How far off the road do y'all generally go?.....To count as road kill?

    I am an expert on deer road kill, but I generally do not share what I know. As an amateur radio operator and expert on police communications have something to add to the thread. I loaded state local police into a scanner. depending on you location you may not be able to do this - then listened to police car accidents involving deer and ran out to local places to pick them up in a truck at the time. I no longer have the Dodge truck. I would pull in in front of the scene, ask politely if they want the deer. Don't laugh, don't smile, and go "wow you are lucky you were not hurt...." Then ask ... what would you like to do with the deer? If multiple vehicles are there I would wait for them to leave and pick up the fresh kill. In general with my wife or mother in law we would process the deer in 3-4 hours and using only a meat tenderizer with three freezers fill them every Sept. The wife is tiered of deer meat.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
