Wrong! But we see what your intent is here. The topic is about doing something nice for someone and they show their appreciation for it. You can google and yack all you want but you’re wrong about most of what you post. I live in Idaho and I’ve picked up three road killed deer and a road killed elk. Saw them happen. I called the game and fish Officer in my area and he just told me to go ahead and grab em and thanks for letting him know. I’ve not applied for, received, or even HAD to get a permit of any kind for any of them. I processed the meat and gave it to people who needed it. That’s the way it works in Idaho. Same thing in Montana. My daughter hit a deer on her way home to Kalispell and she contacted authorities. They asked the usual questions and then wondered if she knew anyone who could come get the meat before it went to waste. They came out, looked at the carcass and told her she could call her friends to come get it. They tagged the deer and left. Her friends showed up shortly after and salvaged the deer. No permit issued. In Wyoming you have to get an interstate game tag for road kill if you want to have it processed at a meat processing facility. If not you contact game and fish and they will meet you at the kill site to verify it’s a road kill. No permit required just confirmation it wasn’t poached. The internet really isn’t solid facts like Facebook or twitter🥴

We get several hit by log trucks here where I live in Idaho. I’ve never seen one hit as big as this one but log truck drivers are, actually, trained how to hit them. The trucks all have huge grill guards and they hammer the throttle vs hit the breaks. They kill them pretty fast and, interestingly enough, there’s not a major loss of meat in most cases. It’s nice the authorities allow us to salvage like they do here. Otherwise there would be a massive waste of animal lives and food for those who need it. In Oregon you’re required to have a permit, which is now free, BEFORE you can touch the animal. Not many people want rotten meat like that. Authorities here in Idaho understand the importance of caring for the meat quickly.
