pegasus bridge Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) the PW standard for recovering road kill deer is not by car i'm afraid! do you have access to a bike? http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/102282-road-kill-deer-how-much-is-it-worth/page__p__878467__hl__%2Bbike+%2Bdeer__fromsearch__1#entry878467 Edited June 19, 2011 by pegasus bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMcC Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 The Game Dealer would not be able to take it from you as the carcas has to have a 'Trained Hunter' tag attached to it stating the condition it was in before it was killed, when it was killed, where it was killed and a statement from the person killing/gralloching it as to the condition of it's 'innards' ie free from disease. I'm afraid anything in the condition you found it would make it only fit for Fox/Badger food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Good luck to anyone who eats things they find dead by the roadside. It could have been put down by lethal injection from a vet and be awaiting collection by the council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a keeper who found one like that and fed the meat to his dogs they were asleep for 3 days .They are not always marked by the vet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 if that was the case its very unlikely they would wake up as said its a bad idea to collect roadkill deer, if nothing else odds are the rumen is bust and the internals contaminated. Really they need gralloching ASAP after an accident not to spoil so picking up one you don't know how long its been there is a very bad idea. Couple that in this case with the back end being hit that is where most of the meat is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbroon Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Im sure there were a big right up in last weeks shooting times about this ! Not worth the risk mate if its had an injection you could die and if you flog it suppose you can maybe get done for murder if somone else dies !! As said not worth the risk.
