We have 6' fences around our garden for a reason.

You claim it’s roadkill, but we know you actually used your Barrett .50 cal on it and photographed it exit wound side down.

As luck would have it a fish and game warden was driving down the road and “finished it off” for us. Technically you are not supposed to shoot them in the highway right-of-way.

So were you able to claim it and butcher it and eat it?

Yes, it’s 100% a thing in Montana. My co-worker is going to take it to a butcher later today neither of us want to do this at home at the moment. Since it’s currently 20 deg. F outside there is no hurry.

I am amazed we didn’t see the car that struck it. It was quite a hit.

I’m okay with this. My friend from Texas / the South had similar laws growing up and eating roadkill was entirely normal. If it’s a fresh kill and there's no contamination , I don’t see the issue.

Lucky you.  I assume you have the freezer space.  Thanksgiving came early.

I sold our second frig 2 months ago. It won’t be that much meat. I might have to get a small freezer tho.

A small coffin freezer  is better for storing stuff like meat anyway. Cheaper and more energy efficient.
