    Hey Dan, why not? I know a few people who do anyway. Actually, other than deer and bear I didn’t know it was illegal.
    Keep a good thought!

  2. Shawn Clark says:

    Why should it be illegal in the first place, and what the difference if the season is open or not? Road kill is road kill regardless of season. if it’s not magled too badly, or not spoiled, take it home

    I am going right off the top of my head here, without any of my usual research before writing, so please excuse me (and correct me here) if I am mistaken.

    This may be a non-issue, Dan. I believe road kill can already be legally taken in any season, provided the person gets a (free) carcass tag properly issued by the local sheriff department.
