What's wrong with road kill? Tastes delicious. Just a few steps to take before picking up road kill:
1. Is it fresh?
2. Are there ticks still crawling on it that are going to get in your car? (That's why you carry a big bag in your trunk.)
3. How much of the meat looks to be salvageable?

A decent sized deer hit by a car will often yield in the neighborhood of 50 pounds of good meat, well worth the effort. And, if you're lazy and carry one of those disposable box knives with you, you can slice down each side & across the neck, take the skin off the back, and remove the back straps. Tenderloins take a little more effort to get to. Usually one side or the other is bruised on the back straps, so just take the good side. If you're good, it'll take about 2-3 minutes to carve off about 15 pounds of awesomeness.

I saw a nice sized doe dead on the road while driving home from work yesterday, and there was another one on the on the same road this morning. It's only a few degrees above freezing, and both looked like they had been hit in the head, so that's a lot of wasted meat on the road.

Anyone know the legality of taking such an animal home for the freezer, specifically in Idaho?

Road kill is almost guaranteed to have been killed while alive.

I'd it it.
And then I would bring it down to the Road Kill Cook-Off for some good eats!

I'll pass.

And best of all, it's humane! Road kill is usually accidental - may as well put the carcass to good use.

Is it legal to take road-kill?

Depends on state and local laws, I think.

Last I checked, most dead things are guaranteed to have been killed while alive.

Can I just come live with you for a year? I would learn SO much, honestly it would be so beneficial in the area of life skills I am not likely to acquire in Austin.
