Hit a deer coming back from Waffle House...

Never hunted in my life.

I just watch the deer in my backyard testing out their equipment. The youngin's try out their prancing and galloping up and down by the creek, and then later as they develop their antlers, I get to see 3 or 4 young males practising their jousting.

Or eating my plums.

Beautiful scene. I wonder what those happy deer would think seeing the carcass of one of their mates flying at them at 50 mph?

Revenge. Deer are a very vengeful animal.

We had a fawn flattened on the street just to the right of where those guys were enjoying a plum break.

Must have been in the early AM. The mother was moping around by those trees. Every now and then she'd venture out to sniff or nudge the fawn with her nose. Fawn may have lived a while as the rear end had all the damage.

Sad.

I'm most upset that my LSU plate got fucked up.

Looks like you hit either a doe or a 4-pointer

Back when I first moved here, we had a guy hit a buck and it went through his windshield The deer was still alive and the guy driving didn't survive. A friend of mine did the ambulance run. He said it was pretty gory.

That's got to be the most yankee thing I've ever seen.

We below the Mason Dixon Line

Would not have wanted to be in a smaller car when hitting this thing.

In this state you can harvest a fresh road kill if you were the one who hit it.

Do you know that for a fact or just talking shit? In most states you can only harvest a road kill animal if you have the permission of a Wildlife Officer (which the answer is usually yes but you have to ask). Otherwise idiots would be trying to hit the things.

When I moved out of Gold River in 2008, my son and I were driving out of town around 6 AM.

We encountered a herd of Roosevelt Elk on the highway. There had been a lot of snow and the plows had piled it up alonside the highway. At least 15 feet high.

So the elk were using the nicely plowed highway to get where they were headed.

When I saw them I stopped dead. I let them meander past me at their speed. 20 or so with a few young ones.

Looking out the window of my car all I could see was knees and legs unless I looked up.

Hit them and they too would be in your lap just like that.

Ditto for moose.

Yankee is a mindset, not physical location.

Too tall or too short and you are screwed if you hit something. It's why boar are the most dangerous thing you can hit. They will flip your car. Elk would sheer the top right off.

When I lived there one of the guys had to head into civilization for a meeting and he was zooming along in his Jetta.

A black bear came lumbering up out of the scree on the right side of the road and rammed right into the right front wheel area.

Bear bounced off, and headed back from whence he came.

The Jetta never made another foot under it's own power.

Yeah, here in NH you have to call the PD and have Fish and Game notified. Once that is done the driver of the assault vehicle can claim the carcass. If they don't want it it is available first come first serve to anyone else until F&G shows up and hauls it away.

Do you really have to ask?

Roadkill salvage permit

A rule adopted by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission in 2016 allows people to legally salvage deer and elk carcasses in the state. Nearly 20 other states have adopted similar rules.

The rule specifically applies to deer and elk killed by motor vehicles. Only elk – not deer – may be salvaged in Clark, Cowlitz, and Wahkiakum counties, because federal laws prohibit handling endangered Columbian white-tailed deer in southwest Washington.

Anyone who takes possession of a deer or elk carcass must obtain a free, printable permit from WDFW within 24 hours. The permittee must then keep a hardcopy of the signed and dated salvage permit with the meat until all of the edible parts are consumed.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife does not guarantee that salvaged meat is fit for consumption, and encourages those planning to salvage deer and elk carcasses to review information on food safety guidelines for game meat. The new salvage rule also does not authorize trespassing on private property or ignoring highway-safety rules.
