Random tangent but does your state pick up deer carcasses from vehicle collisions? In Canada they do but I heard recently that in some places in the US they are just left on the side of the road for carrion eaters?
- cobertos 3y agoIm told by a friend that it is common for people to pick them up and eat them as well, if it's fresh enough. Midwest US
- TheCaptain4815 3y agoUsed to barely see caucuses on the side of the roads in Michigan but some law must have changed as they just leave them all as you mentioned. Probably saves a decent amount for the state.

- AngryData 3y agoThey are suppose to in my state, but in reality they don't unless someone specifically calls about it. It seems to not have the proper funding to do it, and that lack of funding results in the corpses rotting for way too long which makes the job far worse for the people who do it and thus there are less willing candidates who also demand better pay and put their effort towards the easy fresh calls. A lot of people could pick up fresh killed animals without a problem, but not as many people can handle dealing with a half rotted and bloated deer, which makes the lack of funding far less effective than it would otherwise be with proper full funding.
