Alright, I have to ask this question.

Roadkill has been brought up several times by several guys here as a good source for tying materials. I live in roadkill heaven. There is not a single day that I don't drive by countless roadkill. Be it coons, squirrels, deer, or groundhogs (skunks and possums too, but I wouldn't dream of it). I've been wondering what you guys do the harvest this stuff. Do you just pull off the side of the road with the hunting knife, take what you need and toss it in the back of the truck? (zip lock bags could be very useful here, I'm thinking).

K, what do you do with it when you get home? First, how do you hide it from the wife (mine would never let me bring road kill home, EVER!)? Second, do you freeze it, salt it, tan it, wash it? How, what with?

Also, I couldn't sworn I saw on our DNR website something about having a permit to pick up road kill. Is this the case in most states? thanks in advance and happy "hunting."
