Post by: bobcat on October 17, 2011, 10:24:33 AM: I would just move it off the road if it's a hazard. I sure wouldn't bother contacting anybody. Just move it and don't worry about the technicalities. This isn't California.

You can get a roadkill tag to posses the animal if you struck it but from what I've read it isn't easy. It involves getting the tag/permission from the local authorities.
