this story makes you wonder bout folks

[Grunt]

I wish you could apply for a license to possess ground kill feathers here in FL.  I see more dead vultures, hawks, cranes, herons, etc. than I care to.  A shame to see it be wasted, but, understand why they are trying to enforce strict rules.  I just think there should be an option to provide some useful respect to a wasted animal.

Job well done, Ken. 

Next time you want to respect a creature lying dead on the road, stop and put a little tobacco over it. It is a sign of respect.

 That's a lot of tobacco, grunt.

i hear ya Eddie their picking peanuts here which increases the deer traffic across the roads.
Pappy i was brought up the same way !
tim i hit one last year and there wasnt any meat damage ,just knocked the downy feathers off. i was busy watching about 30 in the ditch and three more ran out of the field across the road looked like a feather bomb went off . ate the meat fletched some arrows

It is best to use the gutless method to salvage road kill if it was struck in the body because the guts  explode.

Ya it sucks that you cant pick up road kill legaly in most states, My grandfather told me when he worked for animal control that he often brought home road kill deer and would take the good meat. One time my dad hit a rooster, it went under the car and it looked like some one busted open a feather pillow, my cousin and I were cracking up.

 You ought to see a duck when it goes through the Prop of an airboat.

Tobacco is to high,I will respect them by eating them and using there parts for something  
useful. I guess if I were an N/A I might do that Grunt, but since I ant ,I don't.

Ya I always hate it when I am running down the road and suddenly see a possum in the middle of the road,try and straddle it and about half way over it you hear a thump,I always think,man you should have kept your head down.

I know a fella that works at Ft. Campbell.  I knew that he hunted so one day I asked him, "How many you got this year?"  "Eight," he responded.  I went on and on over him killing eight deer that early in the season. "Killed?  Who said killed?  I've only killed one.  I picked the other 7 up on the way to work," he replied.  I thought that was pretty good.

In lean times I've fed my family with car hit deer like that. I'm not sure what the law is in GA. But I've had the warden help me load them up before. Around here you would get talked about for letting it suffer.Ron

[recurve shooter]

hope i dont sound ignorant here, but i really dont know what the law is around here. i just know that its my personal law not to just stand by and let something suffer. 

[Grunt]

What I said about putting tobacco down works pretty good for us folks following the Red Road. Having said that though just means I have a little different prospective of our natural world and man's place in it.
I have stopped and ended a critters suffering more than once. Good reason to have a carry permit.

 Trey, If you can go on this site you can also look up Louisianna's hunting site for the Reg's. Remember when they are writing that ticket, "Ignorance of the Law is no excuse".
