Hey there Unca Walt, it is sad to see the death of the animal and it's made worse by the waste of the deer meat. I know at times I've seen these animals turned over to a organization who will give it to those in need.Oh boy... If I have the "provenance" (eg: I know who/when it was hit), that deer most ricky-tick gets a ride home in my trunk. Lotsa fine venison. It ain't like dozens of 18-wheelers and a D-9 dozer have been doing circles on it. Not a thing wrong with the meat. BTW: Heart -- thin-sliced, breaded, and fried is fantastic.
With a nice red wine. <-- Goddang it -- that I cannot touch.
One day my wife and I were out exploring around the base of a mountain, almost across the road from where we lived and worked. A large area had been cleared and the village was taking gravel from there. Over a bit we found all these half rotten carcasses, there was mostly deer and a couple of bear. The village was taking the roadkill and just throwing the bodies on the ground. It was a gruesome sight.
