In theory, Yes!. In practice, 7 times. (one hit by me, the other six
I witnessed or were told about by a trusted friend and made it there
within 15 minutes of the "connection")

Coup de Grease maybe, boy there can be a lot of fat on them birds.
Best to stuff them with just bread for the first couple of hours in
the smoker, then toss the stuffing and put in fresh, with tangerines,
walnuts, that sorta fare. Goose can be delicious, but not those flying
shit-machines. I guess that depends on where they've been feeding.
Like deer around here. Some are strictly corn-fed (farmers just LOVE
to have them steal the corn) or from the Pineries, very wild tasting.
I like the corn fed venison.

Once upon a time, and quite a few years went by, in which I never missed
a single day of duck and goose season here on the Gulf Coast ... to the
point of, and after just getting out of the service and being generally
worthless for a while, leasing 1100 acres of rice field and guiding hunts.
As time went on, and I got tired of both picking, cleaning and preparing
the whole bird for the table, my favorite way to cook goose was to split
the breast skin and filet and remove just the breast; season well,
tenderize slightly with a meat hammer (more to get the seasoning in than
to tenderize) and drench them in flour, then pan fry the two breast
halves like you would slices of venison backstrap.
Most of the geese in those days, at least along the Mississippi Flyway,
were rice fed and, fixed in the manner above, would make a believer out
of most goose meat skeptics.
We ate pretty good back in those days ... with no FDA sanctioned,
corporate additives.

Ah yeah... but those backwoods good old boys usually do know how to dress
and butcher a deer/moose/elk, etc. It's not such a difficult thing at all.
Second vehicle - quite possibly an issue. Walk in freezer - not at all
necesary, and in fact very uncommon among people who shoot big game.

No, but I might call one of the hunters I know and see if they're
interested.
Last winter, we had a deer die up by the garden after being hit by a car.
It was cold enough to possibly preserve the deer, so I called one of the
hunters. He didn't think it'd be worth messing with for the meat,
especially considering it had been hit.

Ackchooly, the primo ingredient in menudo soup is tripe (critter tummy).
How it was harvested isn't part of the recipe.

If I had the skill yes.
Some years ago I hit a rabbit. I'll skip the details but the only damage
appeared to be some blood round the eyes. I took it home, got my wife out
of bed (Her gran had taught how to deal with a rabbit) and it was rabbit
stew the following Sunday,

Yes. What I meant was it wasn't mangled up in anyway. <g>
OK, It happened like this.
I was coming home from work after evening shift about 2310h. The track
from the transmitting station was steep, twisty and unlit. I came round a
bend and this rabbit was sitting in the middle of the road. I guess it was
transfixed by my lights as it didn't move and I couldn't avoid it. I tried
to drive over it with my wheels each side of it but as I went over it I
heard a bump. I stopped the car, looked round and found it on the verge. I
suspect it tried to hop away but hit its head on the underside of the car.

We field dress them in the woods - not butcher them. Then we drag them
through everything on the ground, to get them home to wash them and butcher
them. Mine do get washed very well once they get home, and actually, they
don't get dragged very far these days. I have technology to make that job

Not illegal to take roadkill in any state, unless it's something like an
eagle. Roadkill is not hunting and that is what is goverened by states.
That said, roadkill is nasty. The side of the road is the best place for
it.

Ticks and Lyme are an issue here... Don't generally have Permethrin with me
in the car (in my experience ticks swim in Deet) so there is some risk
there. My pen knife has been put into play for gutting so that isn't an
issue... and I keep a blue tarp in the trunk so leaks aren't an issue.

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering WTF happened.
Not legal in California. Even if it were deer season, and you had a tag for
the zone where you hit the deer, striking the deer with a motor vehicle is
not a legal method of take. If you hit one, leave it lay, otherwise it's
poaching. Dumb? Maybe. But that's life in California.
That said, I know that some folks, where there are lots of road killed deer,
are very adept at field dressing a deer and can get it back home and in the
fridge pretty quick. And I suspect this goes on a lot more often than
anyone knows. And I also suspect the folks who do this are pretty good
about determining what meat is quickly and easily salvageable. Personally,
nah. Not for me.

Yo no quiero menudo, gracias.
But the "nose above the mouth" statement reminds me of an engineer
joke:
--snip--
Several engineers are standing around one day trying
to decide what type of engineer must have designed
the human body. (All right, for the purpose of the joke
there is an assumption of some sort of higher being that
actually designed the human body...work with me people.)
The chemical engineer says "the human body was designed
by a chemical engineer. Look how the body takes in
nutrients and then turns them into energy and body
parts just by re-organizing a few chemical bonds."
The electrical enginner says "the human body was
clearly designed by an electrical engineer. Just observe
how tiny electrical impulses cause the muscles to move,
cause the person to feel, see and listen to all that is
happening around them. And finally look how a few
very tiny tiny electrical impulses can store a memory
for a lifetime, and yet bring that information back at a moments
notice. Clearly the work of a brillaint electrical engineer."
The mechanical engineer says "bahh! The human body was
designed by a mechanical engineer. Notice how the muscles and the
bones work to make the body move.
Notice how the organs work to move the food and other
nutrients around to the places where they are needed."
Finally the Civil engineer pipes up and says "you're all
wrong. The human body was designed by a civil engineer.
Who else would put a waste treatment plant right next
to a recreational facility?"

Not all that likely. Most people who know anything about this stuff stay a
mile away from road kill. Sure enough, someone is going to raise the
one-off story about a friend of a friend who took a road kill - or a Texan
(who are well known for taking armadillo off the shoulder of the road for
family Bar-B-Que), and that's exactly what it is - the one-off story. You
really should believe that it goes on a lot less than you might believe.

Years ago in Kansas the authorities did offer the deer to the person
involved in the accident. I don't know if that is still the case. If
it is as mangled as some I have seen I wouldn't want it because you
can get into all kinds of contamination issues.

That is an easy to resolve issue as done by many fields and beaches.
It involves some corner posts and clear monofilament line.

Nope. Not a chance. BTDT, too f'ing messy to want to try it again.
I hunt. And I pay someone else to butcher my kills.
But I *would* -- as provided for by Indiana law -- request a
sheriff's deputy to give me a game tag for that deer so I could
legally transport it to the same butcher I use during hunting
season.

Depends on the food. For salmon, I prefer hickory; for pork, apple; but for beef, nothing,
nothing, NOTHING beats mesquite. SWMBO and I both enjoy venison with either hickory or
mesquite.

When my sons were small, we used to go fishing at the pond in the local park, a park that had
nearly as many geese as it had fish. After returning from one of these excursions, I sat down in
the living room and put my feet up. SWMBO immediately started giving me grief for coming
into the house with dog poop on my shoe. I looked at it, and told her it wasn't dog poop. What
is it, then? she demanded.
You guys know what came next, right?

My dad hit a deer once and the Trooper asked if he wanted to take it home.
He daid if he didn't he'd call a person who would. I suppose the difference
is freshly killed vs. one you find dead by the road.

An associate of mine has an automated, taxidermist prepared, coyote that he
puts near the edge of the pond at the resort/banquet facility that he owns.
The head and tail move... haven't seen a goose there since!

Ruptured internal organs could render the meat unfit. Otherwise,
any meat is fair game for chili making.

I think more than anything the decision would be made based on whether or
not there was time, how I was dressed, if the vehicle were drivable, and if
you can even find the deer. I hit one one time with a VW bug and the deer
went over the roof after caving in the hood and right fender. Never did find
it... needed help pulling the fender out of the tire too.
Other it depends issues... if it was a solid body hit forget it... exploded
guts and "bruised" meat aren't worth the effort nor the nasty experience. On
the other hand, if it isn't hit too bad the back straps and hind quarters
can be taken out quickly without having to get into the guts.
It depends... and the coyotes, vultures and crows have to eat too.

That's how a fair bit of the freshly reported roadkill is handled
here. Often volunteer cops or smoke-eaters will do the cleaning,
packaging and if taken in the fall, frozen and distributed to people
around christmas.

While there, I did bag a moose on the hunting trip. I called the wife to
brag just a little.
She asked: "You shot a moose? Somehow that doesn't sound like you. What's
missing?"

I had a stove by that name. Excellent old gas job with thermostatic
burner, big chrome griddle in the middle, and a separate broiler with
unlimited height adjuster. She was a beaut!
And, while we're speaking of wooden cock houses, I saw some advertised
in the local Grange Co-op ad last week. Hayseuss Crisco, they go for
$650-800 around here! Now I see why Swingy was using a Festool to
build 'em. I had no idea they went for so much money.

P.S: I thought you might have bought them a little goose coupe. You

So what kind of wood/smoke yields the best flavor?
Naw - the cow chips are used to run off the bugs - in a ring of bug fire
around the camp.
That was the old method. Cheap and effective.

Quite a few years ago my wife and I spent a night in Greeneville
Junction, Maine. There was a pub there called the Roadkill Cafe,
complete with a comical menu full of flattened critters (the food was
mostly standard fare). After dinner we hung out at the bar for a while.
The fellow next to us spent more time than was absolutely necessary
describing an nighttime encounter between his 4x4 vehicle and one of the
local megafauna. To make an overlong story short, it didn't go well for
either the moose or the truck.
Now our friend had had a few beers, and had likely done the same the
night of the crash, so there may have been some embellishment. But to
hear him tell it, the highway cop that responded to the accident asked
him if he wanted to keep the meat.
"500 pounds of fresh venison? Hell yeah!"
Our friend was maybe 155 pounds including his boots, and didn't look
like the type to have butchering skills, a second vehicle or a walk-in
freezer. He told us a number of other stories as well, and I'd be lying
if I didn't admit to feeling a twinge of skepticism here and there. But
he did keep us entertained for a while.

I'm not interesting in doing it. The state though, has people on a
list that take the deer and make good use of it. State laws will vary
with what you are allowed to do, but some use the meat for homeless
shelters and soup kitchens.

There is fresh road kill and there is road kill... ;~) When I worked at
Colonial Williamsburg road kill opossum and other critters would end up in
the restored area interpretive kitchens. ;~)

Not to mention that hitting a deer can do some serious damage to a
vehicle. Hid I just hit a deer the last thing on my mind would to clean
it and pack the meat to take home.
Then add to that if it happens in California you have to have available
the deer tag warning about Cancer.

From my long distance bicycle trip experiences it's the whitetail deer and
antelope that seem to have a lot of trouble crossing the road... snakes,
turtles, squirrels, skunks, woodchucks, porcupines, ground squirrels,
prairie dogs, fox and myriad birds don't seem to fare well either nor do the
occasional alligator or bobcat... only seen one road kill chicken so they
must be good at it. ;~)

No, and I love venison. But the people who hit deer usually butcher
them in the woods, while it's fresh and uncontaminated by feces. Urban
neighbors and trash men seem to have a thing about antlers and rotting
guts in the trashcans, too. Plus, it's illegal in some states to
harvest it without a hunting license, so you could be fined.

I remember reading about authorities on the US side of lake Ontario
shooting the marauding Canada geese, cooking them up and serving them
to the homeless. Good for them. I hate those damned birds.
Last time I went down to Toronto Island over ten years ago, you
couldn't go two feet in any direction without stepping in goose shit.
Those damned birds are protected over here. Stupidest law on the
books.

You can do that in Illinois, of course that is if your vehicle is
drivable.

Most migrate south into the US for winter. But, an increasingly
greater number of them stay and winter in Canada because of the idiots
up here who feed them on a regular basis. Failing that, geese are just
as capable of breaking into your garbage can as any wily raccoon.

We often end up putting whitetail venison on the gas grill after a soak in
State Fair Speedy Sauce... except the back strap and tenderloin that is!

I have a bumper sticker (picked up in New Hampshire). It reads:
Brake for Moose
It can save your life
I'm proud to say that since I've been displaying the above sticker, not a
single person in Texas has collided with a moose!
My neighbor hit a deer and the cop offered the carcass to a passer by,
the neighbor said hell no, I want that meat, and brought it home and
butchered it in her yard. Her dad was a butcher apparently and did many
hunters keep. She learned from him. The meat was very tasty 8>)

Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
A. To prove to the prairie dog that it _could_ be done!

Apparently there's a secret unit in every county courthouse which
distributes them evenly (according to the latest, Federally approved,
voting map) around Texas between 2 and 4 AM each night (it's been
rumored that the wives and daughters of the members of these units are
recognizable by the SS James Avery armadillo pendant on a silver chain
they wear to ward off the dreaded armadillo aromatic after effects).
I mean, what else could explain where our tax dollars go, eh?
