When I was interning for the Dept. of Environmental Conservation in New York, we had a whole set of rules about how you had to handle roadkilled deer, and whether you could take it home, or if you couldn't or didn't want to take it home which food banks/soup kitchens could take it... So I guess it's not that uncommon.
Slap my hand now!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In Michigan it was accepted practice, or at least accepted urban legend.

It's a remora, dimwit.
It's always been the joke in Wisconsin that people unskilled with bow or gun use their cars to hunt deer. And well, at least by eating it so quickly she made sure that it wasn't left to suffer a slow death from its injuries. And she appeared to have made use of every edible bit of the deer.

I grew up in a family that collected deer that had been hit by a car. You needed to wait until the highway patrol came and called the game warden.
But I also grew up in a family that ate squirrel as a matter of course so take that fwiw.

I have eaten bear that was roadkill. Long story involving family friends, their organic farm, and a semi...and my mother lying to us kids about what we were eating.

How does bear taste? I don't think I've ever eaten meat from a carnivorous mammal (well, unless raccoons count).

How does bear taste?
Like steak, but greasier and gamier.

Ah, pretty much like raccoon then. I'd hoped the relative difficulty of bringing one down would be reflected in how good the meat tastes.
By rights, bears should be like big lobsters with fur.

Yeah, NSM.
Plus, we had it as burgers. Ground up. Possibly mixed with some ground turkey, there was a time when my mom was big on ground turkey.
Um. And I bet Martha Kent is, uh, very creative with any animals Jonathan brings home from hunting... t /pathetic attempt to be on topic
