Who is "responsible" for removing the carcass off of the roadside ? Is it the state/county/closest land owner ? Recently saw 4 piled up in a bunch that will probably start smelling "ripe" real soon with the forecasted high temps next week "here" .

I do know the road Dept is not always most efficient.

Around here a private contractor picks them up along the state highways. He was in twice today.

On interstate and state highways the state (GDOT) takes care of them. On county roads it is the road department or the buzzards and coyotes. If it is fresh sometimes the county will see that a needy family gets it. That wouldn't happen in the metro counties though.

Around here, the county road commission hasn’t handled them in years. They used to. Now they pretty much lay and rot. The smell only lasts a while.

In my part of Illinois, on the interstates, the IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) picks up the pieces. In the country, the coyotes clean them up.

Most time around here County highway dept will pick up if on the road or right at edge , then the one laying in corn stubble and about 30ft into field they let lay and eagles have been working it over . Then it seems sons dogs find many parts and bring them up into yard so evidently no one has been cleaning up lately except nature

If they are laying in the grass nobody picks them up, you can tell where they are in summer driving by with the windows open. I have seen some on the side of the road in the gravel getting ready to burst they are so big. Have seen some lately run over at least a dozen times not much to pick up except a wad of hide. Family of raccoon couple laying on the side of the road and a couple are just a spot on the road.

The only time the state claims them is when money can be made licenses, fines etc. When they cost money as in disposal they want nothing to do with them much the same as they are with taxpayers.

In my MI county it's the landowner or someone else that doesn't want to smell it. I heard you could pour a bag of lime on it and it will take care of it faster. We also have coyotes and turkey vultures that will help remove them as well.

Here may lay on the road for days so any of us that keep gloves in car will generally call up sheriff for a hazard car and drag them off the roads ourselves, leave them to the roadside vermin.

In Texas the game warden will pick up fresh kill. Sometimes DOT will pick them up. Most times the coyotes and buzzard take care on them. It is illegal for an individual to pick the up.

Here in Missouri, if you hit one the Dept. of Conservation says they have no responsibility, not their property. But if you want to pick one up off the road for personal use, you gotta get a free permit from the Dept of Conservation or it's a hefty fine, even though as previously stated, not their responsibility. Along the highways the Dept of Transportation supposed to pick up dead animals unless it's somebody cow or pig, then nobody claims it!

In Michigan on Interstate and State Highways MDOT will remove Deer Carcass to a non residential area and leave them if they are in a travel lane. Our County roads the Road Commission does not remove unless they are a hazard anything else is landowners preference. I drag them to a fencerow for Coyote bait.

Well, as of this evening on my way home from work on "county roads" in Cass Co. Michigan, it's up to the home/land owner or the crows to dispatch of the carcass .

There are at least a dozen of them in the ditches between town and home. Eagles have been working on them all winter. The buzzards are now back in my area. They'll get cleaned up real quick now.

Around here the HW Dept or the sheriffs will drag them into the ditch but then it's left to coyotes or buzzards and that's pretty damn quick. Most of the time I think the coyotes get them drug of the road faster then anyone else gets there. Years ago an older man(now dead) that lived east of me 3 miles would pick them up and salvage a little meat, of course saved any racks. The sheriffs office called him and told him were to go. The two biggest whitetail racks I have ever seen came from road kill and he had one of them, they both were well over 200.

In MI if you call 911 for a deer hit, the cop will give you a permit for the deer if you so choose.

I believe McDonalds and Taco Tico collect them. Sometimes the Chinese buffet has mystery meat (deer, dog, cat or other road kill). I will let you figure it out. lol
