I don't understand why it's unacceptable to eat something that's been  killed 
by
a car (assuming it's freshly killed, and not something that's been  sitting 
out
there all day) but perfectly OK to eat something you've  shot.  At least with
road kill you don't risk your choppers biting into  a piece of buckshot.
 

In Michigan you can take the critter home.  But you have  to call the police 
and report it.  And then there's the fun of gutting the  animal.  That may be 
the single biggest reason I never felt the urge to  hunt.  I have a weak 
constitution in that area.  But with deer it has  to be done right away.  
Apparently the meat spoils very quickly if you  don't.
I went 54 years without hitting a deer and then 2  years in a row i hit one.  
Both times, I never even touched my  brakes.  They were flying off my bumper 
and into the ditch before I  knew what was going on.  The 2nd time the hit 
didn't kill the deer and he  sat up in the ditch and watched me.  The officer who 
responded was going to  put the animal out of his misery, but I left before 
that happened.  The  guilt of the animal staring at me was enough as it  was.
