So a car hit a deer. It died in my driveway. Any one know anyone who would want it? Near bensville park.
My father in law hunts and i ask him about this situation often. He said often a good ammount of the meat is damged and unusable from the impact. That being said you may have a hard time finding someone interested to take this for the meat. You may want to look into contacting DNR or whoever is responsible for removing the animals off public roadways.
Had a deer die in my yard once, wife called DNR to ask about removal, was told it's in your yard, its your deer.

I saw two stories on the internet about this:
1. A claim that the deer was wearing a MAGA hat and the car had a Hillary 2016 bumper sticker.
2. A claim that the deer had a suicide note pinned to it. The note claimed the deer just couldn't take another day of the Trump administration.

If I may ...
Naw, not at all. Just use the meat for making jerky. As cold as it is, the meat won't spoil. Skin and hang for a bit in a tree, then make some jerky strips, marinate, then put in a dehydrator. Oregon just made made it legal to take road kill and eat it. In Maryland it is legal as well. Just need a permit. Don't let it go to waste.
If the impact was severe enough to blow open the gut and intestines......nope, let it lay. Especially if you don't know how long its been dead. Cold weather or not.

That is when you take it there in the middle of the night and dump it off in their parking lot.
i think most of the injury is to the head but..
i thought surely someone here would know someone. it's within 6 feet of the road so i think it's md state property (even though in charles county)
i'm kind of surprised the birds haven't had at it yet..
i'm debating if i want to drag it ot the other side of the street to the shoulder where the park is..
i'll just call state of md to come get the road kill.. since no one knows anyone that wants it.
Don't harvest an unknown road kill deer unless you or someone you trust can speak to its condition (when hit, condition BEFORE hit). For all you know, that deer was F'd up before hand (physically or even sick) and simply wondered into the road and got struck. When in doubt, skip it. Not worth the few bucks you'd net over store bought.
And if its CLOSE to the road, drag it CLOSER to the road. County/SHA will come pick it up as part of their maintenance.
