ran over first animal last night

[DubiousKB]

At least the animal wasn't wasted. But what are the laws regarding that?

For us in Canada, we have to submit into a draw for big game, which includes meat/hide/antler seals from our provincial (state) gov.   

Now if I'm caught with an animal, no matter how it was taken, without said tags..... I'm no longer a hunter and in serious legal trouble.

How can you just collect this animal without recourse?   I am all for NOT wasting the animal, but won't you get in trouble for collecting those animals?!

back in Colorado, you have to take the animal to the Division of Wildlife, to have it inspected by a game warden, and then you are issued a "roadkill permit" as long as he don't find any holes   here in Vermont, I had to call the state police, who get in contact with a game warden to issue a roadkill case number which you have to keep as long as you have any meat from the animal.  supposed to call police BEFORE picking it up but being that it was 3am I knew I wouldn't get a game warden til the morning so I picked it up and called the police enroute home and she left a message for the game warden to contact me in the am

  Once upon a time, my boss was riding his motorcycle home after work.  (Pizza restaurant, late night)  A couple of deer ran across the road, he buried his handlebars in the second one, and went sailing over its back.  He didn't break any bones, but he was banged up pretty badly.  I got lots of overtime the next week, helping take up the slack.

If no ones see the incident, who's to say it happened?

[homersipes]

  but IF you get caught with an animal boy oh boy!  But here in Vermont I think its only like a $500 fine and loss of license for like 3 years, back home its a real expensive ticket lol

I didn't know there were any laws. And the only road kill here are dogs,cats, opossums, skunks, and the occasional raccon

Yeah it's a big no no to be in possession of a game animal without a tag, road kill included.  The local sheriff's will write out a permanent tag for the carcass with little fanfare and you can either have it processed or DIY.

We've picked up a few deer around the house when our sheriff buddies called if someone hit a deer they didn't want to keep.  The motorist has first dibs of course.

It's only a problem if you get caught 

If you see me going out to the garage with a bucket and a sharpening stone after pulling all of the shades and closing the doors, expect to smell venison cooking on the grill about 30 minutes later...

$2000 fine here for possessing any dead deer without a state tag on its ear.  They don't care how it died according to the letter of the law.

Oh the burden of having world record deer.

What is the fine if the ear is missing?
