I know about the guy who eats roadkill, BBC 4 did a programme on him.
But come on would you not throw in the back of your car a pheasant, grouse, partridge or deer the bloke in front of you had just hit and killed with his car? I know I would and the rubber would be laid down thick and black.

There was a programme on discovery or nat geo or something showing a family in america living in motor home and living off roadkill, not for me I'm afraid.
The hunting challenge is interesting but don't know if I would like it, not a fan of rabbit or game birds.

When I worked for the council before I retired,part of the job was picking up road kill.
Normally deer,foxes and badgers.
Many a time got sent out to pick something up,and couldn't find anything,because somebody had already taken it.
Wasted hours riding up and down country roads.

When we lived in Mississippi there seemed to be a mass of roadkill alomst every morning on the drive to work.

My collegue, a local chap, used to say as we drove past it,

"well, that's a sign of good times"

When asked to explain he said that in bad times the roadkill was picked up real quick!

I have sampled quite a bit of roadkill when living there, and the best was the Squirrel and Dumplings!
