Or better yet drad it to a field and let your coyote get fat on it now and catch them later.
Wish I had more time to trap....

Never eaten road kill. But when I was backpacking around the mountains of southern Utah, doing cougar research for my masters thesis, I stole some meat from cougar killed deer more than once. When you are living on ramen noodles, instant oatmeal and hotdogs, some fresh backstraps roasted over the coals is too much temptation to pass up:)

I salvaged a back leg off of a deer in the morning of a deer killed the night before. I was the field sports director at "youth organization" summer camp. Some of the staff and me ate it. No problem.

I think the natives ate some meat that would turn anyone's stomach these days. Their fridges didn't work very well. You don’t need a fridge when you know what you’re doing. Drying and smoking is how it’s done. We still do it today.

When times were tough people ate their dogs,and aftet that ate their own moccassins.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

The closer to the road but not on it the more chance it was just hit in the head. Any that walk off a distance probably have internal injuries that will make the stink soon. Each has to be judged by itself there is not number of hours or time of day they all are a bit different.......jk

I guess it depends on how hungry you are.
The fresher the kill the better obviously. i've eaten plenty of road-kill, especially when I was younger and my state had much less liberal bag limits on deer.
The last fifteen-twenty years I kill enough to keep the family in deer meat year round.
Eh...wot?

Have picked up many road-kill over the years and each is a bit different depending on over-night temp and amount of damage. Here in NE Wisconsin we are finally getting below 50F at night but no frost yet. I don't feel a deer hit <12 hours previously would be an issue. Guys at work will even tell me about critters they saw when coming in from a different direction. They like it when I bring back smoked jerky for the crew to eat. Cheap payback when I get fresh tenderloins, chop meat and when fur is good a few bonus coyotes.

Forever in debt to my Father who introduced me to trapping. May I be half the man he was.

I feel the inside hip on a back leg for warmth, I also only pick them up in the fall and winter.
Have eaten a good many road killed deer.
