What a waste

[runamuk]

It's the law. Take it all, including guts.

So leave it to rot is the better option if you see someone hit a deer and drive off?  Don't bother salvaging any of it? 


Some of you all ain't never been hungry I hope you know how blessed you are.  And here I felt bad killing woodrats and leaving them for the critters.  If shtf I would eat them and roadkill cutlets.

If they were hungry why take the head and leave meat behind? I don't think anyone has a problem with someone using the meat from roadkill but at least take it all.

I imagine if somebody took this picture BEFORE the roadkill law, you guys would be saying, "at least it's not all going to waste"

[bigsads]

Seems like someone high graded it and bolted

[Gunsmoke]

Does it seem strange that the head, Back strap's and hinds are all that's gone.

Not strange at all, those are the best cuts.

Waste ?  Depends on the circumstances. If it was RK, nothing in the law says you have to use all the meat. You just have to remove it all from the roadway.
Nothing goes to waste in the wild, its all consumed by critters.
Maybe this guy picks up ALOT of RK, it can be extra work sorting through the damaged area, just taking the best and leaving the rest to feed nature.

It may have been a gun and run, but without any visible gunshot wound  but if it was,   he's a turd.

It's the law. Take it all, including guts.

It is permissible to salvage and transport a deer or elk that is accidentally killed by a motor vehicle collision except for any deer killed by a motor vehicle collision in Clark, Cowlitz, and Wahkiakum counties.
A salvage permit must be obtained from the department within 24 hours of taking possession of the animal. Permits may be obtained on the department's website or at department regional offices.
Big game licenses and tags cannot be used for the purpose of salvaging motor vehicle-killed deer or elk.
The entire carcass, including entrails, of the animal must be removed from the road right of way.
Any meat an individual deems unfit for human consumption or unusable animal parts must be disposed of pursuant to WAC 246-203-121 http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=246-203-121. Individuals salvaging and consuming this meat do so at their own risk. The department makes no guarantee as to the fitness for consumption of deer or elk collected under a salvage permit. (See Wild Game Meat Food Safety.)
An individual may not kill an injured or wounded animal for the purpose of salvage. Only a law enforcement officer or individuals or entities authorized by the department may euthanize an animal injured in a motor vehicle collision, whether or not the animal is taken for salvage.
Possession of wildlife in violation of subsection (4) is punishable under RCW 77.15.750.

Hey, look at that.  I might break history here on Huntwa. I was wrong and I apologize.
I remember when this first was legal and reading up on it a not but don't remember it saying "removed from the right of way". My memory was the entire animal carcass and entrails must be removed from the site.  Maybe I was reading a draft and not the final release, beats me.  But thanks for posting the wording.

And then there is this stupid post.
Before you make assumptions about "some of you" and acting like you know their lives, stop and think for a second.  Maybe people don't bitch and moan on the internet about how crappy their life is or how hungry they are and don't brag about how blessed they are.  They are humble and don't feel sorry for themselves. You know nothing of other people.

If you read the WAC about disposal I still think you have to take the whole animal and dispose of it. 

Bigtex might be able to chime in on it and set us straight.

Maybe that's what I thinking. I have no idea now.
I just dont see you being able to gut, skin, quarter and bone out road kill leaving everything on the side of the road like normally us hunters do to game killed in the woods. Though it would be nice to be able to leave that stuff and not bring it home.

[NOCK NOCK]

You need to take ALL of the deer when picking it up, after that, proper disposal of what you do not keep.
My 1st one I took to the mountains, gutted there - took home to process - then returned remains to mountains.
2nd one I took home - gutless method - returning remains to mountains

The WAC just says that it must be removed from the right of way

Yes........ BUT, please folks don't be gutting an animal near a road, that is a good way to get folks PO'd and then we will lose this privilege.

It only says, "The entire carcass, including entrails, of the animal must be removed from the road right of way."
