Hi Robert,

There are laws currently in place in all 50
states that specify in detail the conditions
that allow you to have in your possession a
protected animal. They will vary somewhat
from state to state. Some states have laws
that specifically apply to road kill and
they vary as well. I believe that most
states choose to rely on the established
regulations permitting possession of an
animal. It would behoove one to check the
laws of their individual state before picking up the dead animals. In most cases
the animal skins can be obtained from a
sponsor here on FAOL, skinned, tanned, and
ready to use for a small expendature. Any
ticket one might get for breaking the state
established laws would surely be much
greater than you would spend for a nice
skin.*G* Warm regards, Jim
