In Montana it’s legal to take home deer, elk, moose and antelope that you’ve hit with your car accidentally. You may not clean or dress it by the side of the road or sell the meat. You must also go on line and get a retroactive permit so the state can keep track of road kill. Makes total sense and saves the state money from not having to clear carcasses. The law was passed maybe 8 years ago and has been wildly popular. Opponents suggested people might strike those critters on purpose, which seemed like a dumb position considering the vehicle damage that would likely result.
