There was a road kill elk this morning. East bound I-90 just before cabin creek. With no head. Just curious how big it was

Hopefully you picked up the rest of the meat. I've gotten 6 deer an 1 elk on the west side this year. All good eats

An SUV nailed a doe 2 Saturdays ago in front of my wife only a few miles from home.  I was all over that.  Amazing, only a couple pounds of meat bad.  They gut punched her.  Gutting her was a bit nasty, but with a hose at home and lifting her with the tractor bucket, it was a piece of cake.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

We got lucky with ours . Only minutes behind the hit. Only had to finish 1 off because I wasn't gonna watch it suffer. But they all fed families in need an a few steaks for us.good eats

Tell me your secrets! I got a bunch the first year it was legal and it’s been almost nothing since then. Too much competition

I see road kill every week driving, but just in the wrong rig and clothing to pick them up.
Cut em!

Only a matter of time till the WDFW figures out a money making move to sell road kill tags. Might be a better deal than the regular tag with the price of ammo.

I can see the price of 6 inch "C" channel increasing. Retrofit front truck bumpers. 🤔🤔

Got a text from a buddy heading south on  I-5 about a doe in the middle lane. It was hit when the WSP yarded off to the side, I pulled over to grab it but was waved off by the officer (grumpy).
