Montana Bill Would Legalize Roadkill Dining

Liz Neporent wrote:
By passing a bill last week that allows motorists to eat their roadkill, the Montana House of Representatives may be on their way to legalizing the ultimate drive-through experience.

State Rep. Steve Lavin originally introduced the bill into Montana's House to allow "game animals, fur-bearing animals, migratory game birds and upland game birds" who have been killed by a car to be harvested for food.

"This includes deer, elk, moose and antelope, the animals with the most meat," said Lavin.

Hi,

Long ago, I bought a hunting related cookbook. The author found dead pheasants along the road in the dead of winter. She stopped, collected the birds and hoped no game warden or police would stop her because it was not pheasant season.

Allowing roadkill to be collected with breaking the law is a good thing.

Regards,

In Alaska and parts of Canada, large roadkill - moose and bear - is taken to nursing homes and other charities so that it does not go to waste.

The only time I picked up roadkill game was probably 40+ years ago. I was young and eager??? I was coming home from work and a pheasant flew into front grill of my car and died. I was upset because this was my brand new 197??? Volvo. I stopped, picked it up and took it home. My then roommate and I found someone who knew what to do and how to clean it. It wasn't too bad! Since then I knew a guy who had a permit to pick up roadkill and I have had some of the dear meat her harvested. I am happy it is donated to food pantries and anyone who can use it.

It's legal in Illinois to take road kill deer, not sure about other animals.
