Bumper Hunting: The Man Who Eats Road Kill

[Dorian Gray]

The owner of a company I worked for showed up one day holding a dead pheasant by the feet and offered it to me. HE hit it nearby with his vehicle.
He knew I was a hunter. Thankfully there was a kitchenette in the place. I ran for the back door to start plucking when the bird started struggling.
"Hey, it's still alive!", I yelled. "Ya, I know", the boss hollers back.

Couple years ago we got skunked on opening day. We packed up at the farm and got just around the corner when we found a lady that had just hit a doe. We stopped and made sure her car was OK to drive. Lent her a cell to call home and let them know she was gonna be late. There was an awkward pause and I looked at her and said "sooooo you gonna eat that?" We loaded it up and took her back to the farm and hung it. It was a good kill too, busted rib went through the heart and didn't waste more than 5lbs of meat altogether.

I lold. Thanks guys.

A couple years ago, me and a buddy were going to a party and hit a rabbit on the way. When we landed at the party, I cleaned the rabbit up and fired it on the BBQ. We got a few weird looks, but everyone that tried it, love it. Waste not, want not....

I hit a fawn 3 days ago with my truck ... i wanted fawn straps so bad !!! unfortunatly i was doing 110kmh when i hit it and never had a chance to hit the brakes. The fawn was about
200ft long and 2 lanes wide when i check for left overs. Not pretty , 3K damage to my truck

A few years ago while delivering pizza for some extra cash a partridge flew into the side of my car. It took 20 minutes to find it in the ditch. The pizza on the seat was free when it finally got delivered... I called home and my father in law met me and took it.

When I was in highschool we were comming back from a lake party and rolled up on a young bull moose that had been hit - the OPP were just leaving so we asked if we could take the moose - they gave us some paperwork - and we ate moose all summer - that fall we got a call at 6.00 in the morning and our old neighbour hit a cow moose coming back from the airport in Timmins - that left us back on the side of the highway cleaning a nice milking cow moose - now this is where it get interesting - as the light was comming up I looked in the ditch and see this big black thing moving - it was the calf laying down in water - I run up to it and it does not run away - so I run back to the truck and grab an axe and proceed to put the poor animal out of its misery - when we dragged it out of the ditch it had two broken back legs - our old neighbour didn't realize he had hit both aminals. The worse thing about these 3 giveme moose was that it took another 6 years before I got another one - is was wil a 7mm though.

now this is where it get interesting - as the light was comming up I looked in the ditch and see this big black thing moving - it was the calf laying down in water - I run up to it and it does not run away - so I run back to the truck and grab an axe and proceed to put the poor animal out of its misery - when we dragged it out of the ditch it had two broken back legs - our old neighbour didn't realize he had hit both aminals.

Too bad it was maimed or this could've been you!
