New Road-Kill Rules Take Effect

New rules approved during Idaho’s recent legislative session allow people to recover, possess and sell certain wildlife killed by accidental vehicle collisions. Individuals who want to salvage road kill must notify the Idaho Department of Fish and Game within 24 hours either in person, by phone or by Internet to receive a salvage permit within 72 hours. Game animals, including furbearers, may now be salvaged, as long as they died as a result of an accidental vehicle collision. This rule change only allows dead animals to be salvaged; it does not allow injured animals to be killed by passing motorists/Idaho Fish & Game Department news release. More here.

Question: Have you eaten road kill? Would you?
