If I have seen the kill, very fresh then skin, butcher and bring home otherwise take off the roadway; lay down tobacco.
What Do you do with Roadkill?
- Thread starter BOD
- Start date
Depending on the state of the kill and how fresh it is, I normally place it in the hedge but I have been known to take a pheasant or two home with me!
When we (me and my fiancée) come across a roadkill we try to stop and move it of the road. Just to make the road secure for other drivers and we don´t want the dead animal to attract any carnivore. If it´s a cat for example, we look for a necklace with a phone number to the owner or any other ID and place an add in the local store. In Sweden it´s against the law to collect roadkills. If you have caused the accident and the animal are hurt and runs away you are responsible by law to contact the police. /Swede 
For those who vote run over again, I recall a friend who lost two tyres on his landie from doing that to a fox - rib bones went straight through! I have to admit that I voted ignore because generally the roads around here are just too busy for stopping to be safe.
Pigeon or pheasant I take just the breast meat.
Rabbits I've been giving to a mate who keeps hawks as they are often badly mashed internally but in future I will keep the back legs as suggested here.
Everything I move to the hedgerow for the scavengers.

When I had ferrets, I regularly picked up road kills. Once the car in front hit a hen pheasant, I stopped and picked it up and put in in the rear foot well, just below my 4 yr old daughter in her car seat. A few moments later it had 'come back to life' much to the amusement (NOT) of my daughter 
After much flapping and screaming and a quick neck twist (the pheasant, not my daughter) all was calm again.She never has seen the funny side of it, and is not too fond of birds.

I voted eat it, but thats easier said than done! otherwise i would give it a good run over in my bike if its dead to make more mess thn throw it off ther road 
Eat it myself for sure, provided it wasn't minging. I've had some pretty good meals from road kill: rabbit, pigeon, squirrel...
I give it a good sniff if it smells ok its in the pot trust your nose...if it smells ok to eat it is I'm still here so my theory must work
