What would maggots have done?

I went to a party earlise this evening. I arrived early, swilled beers, ate food, hung out and stayed late. Some fun people big bombers and friends who I haven't seen for along time (6~7 anyos). All this info is irrrelevant.

I'm driving home and I see a dead deer on the road about a 1.5 km from my house. I stop and checked it out, it was this springs fawn still and still slightly warm, probably dead 3 hours max. It is directly across the raod from the home of a retired 'mercan cop. What to do, what to do. So I drive a hundred meters or so to a friends driveway and I'm going to wake him and get his take on hte situ. but I see his inlaws car in the drive and remember they are visiting so I bail on awakening the household at 2:30am and I drive home.

I wentin the house and started thinking about it hmmming and hawwing then I decide to go get it even though I willnot get to sleep as early as hoped (as soon as possible). I throw a tarp in the trunk of the Corrola I bought yesterday and go for it. I get to the end of the drive and stop and have second thoughts, do I want to do this and get bloody and lose sleep, sure it's illegal but it's not like I've never bent any laws before. So I whip down the road and toss it in the trunk.

It is now 4:00am and it is cleaned and hung. I'm suppoese to go hunting with the friend I almost woke tonight so I figure I may as well not bother sleeping.

The deer was hit in the chest/front right so the hind quarters are un bruised. I't gonna be yummy. It's not often you get to have fawn.

That is quite honestly the most redneck thing I have ever heard of.

On that note, It is better to utilize the meat rather than let it go to the maggots.....oh wait thats what happend.

Score!!!

**powderfarmer** · 11-05-2005, 08:06 AM

been there done that. BTW I know i the states all you have to do is call the cops and report it, they then show up, makes sure its dead(like they have anyidea) then give you a tag for it so its legal.

Bon Appetit!

You earned that one Beav. Hell, you did the province a favor by taking it off the road, they should thank you.

**rossibandit** · 11-05-2005, 08:30 AM

Well, no use letting the meat go to waste. The highway maintenance guys usually just throw road kill in some gravel pit somewhere. I would just be worried about someone thinking I shot the deer instead of it being roadkill. Now that its hanging and dressed its hard to prove that.

In AK they used to dole our roadkilled moose to the homeless shelter. Props to you for saving the city some cleanup and making use of perfectly good meat.Mmmmmm venison.

**marshalolson** · 11-05-2005, 10:29 AM

mmmm..... roadkill

But you seem like such a fawn guy.

Have you ever seen the movie Tommy Boy?

Nope. I'll put it on the list.

**Art Shirk** · 11-05-2005, 09:53 PM

Genuine question, I am not amazingly well-versed in this area: Could it have been carrion, i.e bad eatin?

**Beaver** · 11-05-2005, 10:21 PM

I suppose it could be bad eating but I highly doubt it. It was a healthy fawn following mommy when some dude came blazing out of the fog and paff, it's meat.

**Mcwop** · 11-05-2005, 11:59 PM

I usually stop for roadkill - not.

**splat** · 11-06-2005, 06:57 AM

Anyone hit any possum lately?
I got a hankerin for some of granny's possum soup.

I had a buddy hit three deer at once. Came and got us. We had to track two of them. Good blood trails in snow, so they were hurt bad. Ended up with all three hanging in the barn within a couple hours.

Beaver's new name Roadkill? After all he is what he eats.

**schindlerpiste** · 11-06-2005, 07:21 AM

There's nuttin wrong with eatin roadkill. Not too long ago, at about 5:00am, I was walking my chessies in a gorge, when a mid-sized doe came flying over a 15 meter cliff. Something must have spooked it. It died on impact. 4 hours later, that baby was reduced to steaks, burgers and sausage. It kept me, and my Chessies, in the goods for the better part of the winter. ENJOY

There's a test driver for RUF in Germany called Stefan Roser. You may have seen him in the 'Faszination Nurburgring' movie, sliding a RUF Yellowbird all over the Nurburgring while wearing white socks and slip-ons.

A colleague of mine went to interview Alois Ruf and turned up at 9am. Everyone was in the office apart from Stefan. At 10am he walks in, carrying the front spoiler of his car and proclaiming that he has had an 'incident'.

Turns out he left the road at about a billion miles per hour, smashed through a five-bar gate, entered a field and managed to kill two cows. That's some going.

And he kept his job.
