Salvage of roadkilled BT deer now legal in all WA counties

[A. Cole]

Don't think my petition had much to do with it (though it might, who knows), but I've heard from folks in WDFW that the rule change took place yesterday, the 17th! Now legal to salvage roadkilled blacktail (though possession of Columbian WT still illegal as per federal law, AFAIK) throughout the entire state. Good news, even if very small! Makes me think of a quote from Peter Marshall: "May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right."

Didn’t even know counties restricted salvage. I thought it was state wide.

It was technically illegal in Clark, Cowlitz, and Wahkiakum due to the Columbian WT.

Clark, Lewis, and Cowlitz, I believe prohibited collection of roadkill deer. Columbia whitetails were the reason, all 4 of them.

But they have been posting the salvage locations those county's all along.

Fawn hit this morning just above Washougal if anyone wants to process enough meat for a few burgers.

Daughter drove by on way to work and mom was still standing over fawn so probably 30-60 minutes ago.  I went over to pull off road enough car won't hit it again.
