I live in Pennsylvania close to the boarder of Ohio. So I drive in both states. In both states a hunting license is about $20. In both states millions of people buy their hunting licenses. Plus you pay extra for deer and turkey tags. That is a ton of money they bring in. But you drive by a dead deer that was hit by a car or truck and if you drive by that same place two months later that deer will still be there rotting away. Why not take a small portion of that money and pay for removal of those deer. It would be so easy to set up. Police travel all over the place. When they see a dead deer all they would need to do is call their dispatcher and tell them where the deer was. The dispatcher calls the local game warden and tells them where it is at. They send someone to pick it up and dispose of it

Why should it need to be disposed of? Isn't an animals carcass rotting away the natural state of things? Burying our own is a human thing. Animals don't do that, so maybe humans should not mess with that? What benefit is there to doing so? As long as the carcass is not on the road and is a safety hazard I don't see an issue.
The sad thing about this is that the meat of the deer being wasted. People who hit deer should be arrested too and lose their license.

I ride my bike along roads and on back roads. Whenever I come across a dead deer that has been there for awhile it smells like hell. And how about the ones that are hit by peoples homes. After a while the smell would start getting in the homes. |

I can't really relate, living in the suburbs I don't encounter stuff like that apart from dead birds and stuff. Come to think of it, I wonder who takes care of those. |

Safest thing Those jokers do run in groups and the uninitiated see one run across the road and breathe a sigh of relief, then BOOM deer on the hood and car wrecked. |

Lost two trucks and a car one year … used to be anti deer hunting .. not any more ! They need to give some kind of birth control meds to deer herds since hunting is not as popular as it once was. OR allow more kills to the ones who still hunt. I swear they WAIT until they see a vehicle coming and then dare each other to try to get to the other side of the road.  |

Nobody hits an animal that size on purpose. It's a good way of damaging your car or getting yourself killed.
In Australia, we have similar problems with kangaroos, emus, wombats and other types of wildlife.

Coincidentally, the local news ran a story about deer collisions yesterday.

I’m a little afraid of kangaroos. I've been stalked by a medium-sized grey kangaroo through the bush - on more than one occasion.
And it was the same one both times.
Skippy holds a grudge...

See! I know lots of people think they’re cute, and the joeys are, but the grown ones look mean and sneaky to me. Not to mention they are so muscled in the upper body like a person. Nope, this one will never seek out a kangaroo if I ever make it to Australia. |

Nope, this one will never seek out a kangaroo if I ever make it to Australia. Well, it all started one night when I was driving up to the local scout camp with some mates.
This kangaroo leapt out in front of me from the bushes on the side of the road without warning and although I tapped the breaks a bit, I still gave him or her a bit of a nudge in the arse with my front bumper. The kangaroo overbalanced slightly and then disappeared back into the shrubbery. But it apparently never forgot or forgave...
Mum once had a close encounter with an emu. She was taking a zoomed-in photograph of one from a fair way off. When she lowered the camera, she found herself face-to-face with it. Apparently the emu was just curious. No harm done.
