LANDER, Wyo. (AP) — The aroma of sizzling meat in melted butter wafts from a cast iron pan while Jaden Bales shows his favorite way to cook up the best steak cuts from a big game animal.


The deep red backstrap pieces, similar to filet mignon of beef, are organic and could hardly be more local. They're from a mule deer hit by a car just down the road from Bales' rustic home in a cottonwood grove beneath the craggy Wind River Range.

Roadkill is indiscriminate, though, and includes a wide range of scavengers — coyotes, eagles and skunks, to name a few — that feed on highway-killed creatures and end up getting hit themselves.

“You can play the circle of life card and be like, ‘Well, there is never something that is wasted,’” Bales said. “But whenever you’ve got roadkill, it is really dangerous for any of the critters who come and try to eat it.

That is pretty cool.
I can't image Texas ever doing that.

The edibility of road kill depends on the time that it has been deceased and the day’s temperature. And, a road killed creature will likely have ruptured guts. My Mom, way back when I was a teen, brought home a freshly (she said) road killed fox and wanted the hide for my baby sister’s room. I had made several rabbit skin rugs for the toddler, but the family cat would eventually attack and rip them up. Mom figured the fox skin rug would be more attack cat resistant. But, when I accidentally punctured the distended stomach area, a stream of green ‘juice’ shot on to me, and puking resulted. Nasty.

I remember a show with the same name years ago, folks were picking up roadkill and sharing recipes

I do not know why we can’t keep exotics. I understand that we have a bunch of rednecks with front end replacement bumpers that would run down whitetail all day long. But exotics should be free for the taking.
I have always joked that if an axis takes out my trick, I am taking the axis.
TPWD needs an app for claiming exotics

Many years ago I hit a deer on Hwy 16 in Bandera Co. It was a couple of miles out of town. When I got into town I saw a GW and asked him about retrieving it. He said OK but I might not like what I got. I started skinning the deer and it was completely blood shot. Never tried that again.

Happened across many an animal hit by a truck with a broken neck and nothing else wrong with it. Also happened across many animals hit by trucks that were still alive.
Might be a decent way to get some elk meat though in some areas I know around Wyoming.
Our weather lends itself to animals not spoiling quickly about 5 months out of the year.

Back in my misbegotten cowbog youth growing up in rural CO we used to savage a lot of roadkill deer, probghorn and elk. All we had to do was contact the state patrol, sheriff's office of local game warden to get a road kill permit. Bear and mountain lion were a little more difficult but not impossible. Lots of good meat can be salvaged off the roadways. Never understood why some states would rather let it rot in the ditches than let people have it.

Here in Texas summertime on the blacktop the roadkill is already cooked for you.

All I know is that I tried doing it and it was better left for the buzzards.

Oh man if they did can you imagine some of the road hunting rigs some guys would have. Full cages built around their trucks out of heavy tubing or pipe and no deer from fence to fence on each side will be safe!


High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!
