How many of you will butcher road kill deer? Ive butchered several in the last 10 years and butchered one last night. The one last night was a big doe that weighed in the 150 -160 range. When I walked upon her I thought is was a buck that dropped its antlers. Sheriffs dept gave me a permit and today I ground it all into hamburger. Ended up with close to 40 lbs. This one goes to a needy family I know. Next one will too. Sheriffs Dept told me they would call me when the got another one. h.h.

I have, and I am very picky before I start. I've opened up a couple that were just destroyed under the skin, but I've also butchered a couple with very little waste. In Adams county, there is a list of people waiting for roadkilled deer if the driver doesn't want it.

I know alot of guys who do but I don't. I have a picked up a few only to cut into them and find them destroyed, then I'm stuck with it.

I have and would again, depending of course on the damage.
I think a lot of people think rotten and bloated when they hear "roadkill." If something is dead, the method hardly matters. Bullet or bumper, what's the difference?

I picked one up this year. It was button buck that we got ~30 pounds of meat from. I think it was hit in the head - it NO damage to any of the meat. There was no bruising on the meat anywhere.
