any open seasons?

I sure don't see anything open in those units. Only permit I see right now is the Lakeview Deer Area, and that's in GMU 272, so not even close. Maybe it was an indian?

Could be a landowner depredation tag as well.

I've hunted 162, lots of indians hunting down there. I wouldn't put it past a farmer or another sportsman picking up some roadkill as for it not to go to waste.

A lot of people are getting cited lately for doing the same thing. It is illegal to posess dead wildlife, other then those you've legally killed.

Only thing open up there is late archery cow elk. Maybe they thought it was a calf

The rule doesn't really have anything to do with waste, but a way to prevent poaching. There have been numerous cases over the years where people will intentionally run over animals so they can bring them home to eat. How would an officer know if you just simply picked up a road kill deer or if you intentionally ran it over? There was a big case in Ocean Shores a couple years ago where 2/3 guys ran over a handfull of deer intentionally.

Umm can't say I see a huge problem with that example ocean shores is infested with deer...
yes the law is there because 90% of honest people need to be kept in check for the one or two idiots that would purposely run over deer....but it makes it ok to have the law because it is protecting us from wrongdoing....sorry just don't buy it....and not gonna change my mind it is a dumb law

I agree 100% run. Complete waste of an animal in most cases.

I also don't see it as a huge issue with folks intentionally running them over in order to take them home. I know, it does happen occassionally. However, most folks are not going to risk $1000's worth of damage to a rig for a bit of meat in the freezer. Sounds like an expensive way to harvest an animal in my opinion.

You will not see one animal on the side of the rd in AK, all consumed.

Usually it's done in groups. One truck is the "attacking" truck while the other is the one who goes around and picks up the animal. Or you can hit the animal, put it in a ditch or somehow hide it then come back in another vehicle and pick it up. Not that hard to do.
