(2,674 posts)Years ago when we lived in Alaska, the highway dept. had trucks that would go out a remove the road killed moose. The meat would be used to feed the prisoners in jail.

(2,205 posts)especially if its neck was broken. It looks small, a larger deer would be a handful, they can weigh up to 200 pounds.
This one looks like a yearling.
They probably needed the meat anyway----Because
Wisconsin's repuke governor is a tea party type who hates the poor anyway
He is a evil POS who would love to eliminate food share and the minimum wage, this they believe will spur the lazy to work for food!!
And that will help the economy to improve since business taxes going down will create jobs.

(86,765 posts)why trash good meat with all that chemical poison? If you're going to eat wild animals, you probably don't need that crap to ruin it with.
I know it's joke but the social conditions that are on display in the photo aren't. Besides, wild meat usually taste better without whatever is in that box of additives.

(30,250 posts)I needed a laugh. That was better that what happened to me last night coming back to NJ from PA.
I'm on I-78 going East. I'm on the middle lane, when all of a sudden, someone up ahead decides to make a LEFT HAND TURN in the middle of the hwy. She went from the right lane onto the left lane as if she was crossing a street. I hit the break when I saw something going sideways (it was pretty dark). I hit the breaks, but still hit the back portion of her car. She kept going. I was able to see that it was an elderly lady and got a partial # of her plate. I called 911 and the state troopers said that they'll probably never find her. I stayed home from work today and took the car to be fixed. It's going to cost me $900. The old lady is a menace to herself and others. I hope that someone gets her off the roads. If I had not been able to veer right and had completely hit her broadside, I could have killed her (it was the driver's side of the car). I've seen some strange behavior on the road in my lifetime, but a person making a full turn on a hwy. is something I had never seen before.

(5,075 posts)over the weekend in central Wisconsin, plus another dozen adults deer. Rutting season, ya know.
There's not much meat on it, maybe thirty pounds if she uses every bit, including the sausage.
Good corn-fed meat though.

(19,258 posts)If they respond to a car accident involving a deer strike with a dead deer on the side of the road, they pull out the list and call up the next name on it to see if they want the animal.
It's entirely free, but you have to be willing to come out at whatever hour of the night it might be, take the entire animal, and gut it out yourself on your property.
I have a few coworkers who get a lot of free venison this way.
