Back in the day there would be skid marks when somebody found a nice roadhit coon. The better question is this: You've borrowed your wife's nice late model sedan...nice looking roadhit critter....do you dare? Last edited by beaverpeeler; 02/12/20 09:23 PM.

My best was a coyote that got hit by car in front of me and it brought me an extra 70 in my fur check. I only pick up from roads I travel frequently so I don't want up losing lunch when I stop to check it out. Wish I had more time to trap....

Starting November 1st, though, they all seem to disappear. Gotta be quick if you wanna get em. And yes, they can be pretty disgusting on the inside. Just don't breathe through your nose, and be ready to scrape poop of the hide.

One had a broken skull in a bunch of places and made skinning the head harder but not too bad. The other was just jellied like when you hip snare a coyote. I picked up 12 deer this year but just for wolf bait and my own freezer Real name Eric The sharpest hammer in the box of crayons.
