  1. I look forward to the medical complications that will occur from eating roadkill. That is one expensive way to take down a moose. In NFLD many people have been killed while “taking down” a moose. I have seen trucks and cars obliterated along with their passengers.

    1. A sturdy bush bar really tenderizes the tough leg meat.

      You DO know WHY CA just added this law? That’s right, our new third world “guests” are used to this practice in their homelands. So rather than criminalize them … we just changed the law to … accommodate … them. Same as with non prosecution of theft under $1,000.00

      yeah… f*ck those science-y banting & best dudes… tribal wisdom rocks

      Last month, a Dene healer called for the medical community to consider
      traditional medicine when dealing with the swine flu pandemic.

      “Let us combine our medicines together,'” Besha Blondin, a healer from
      Déline, N.W.T., urged.

      hmmm… how’d that work out for steve jobs?

    1. The guy who used to live next door had some sort of physical disability and had a special permit to shoot game from his truck. I don’t know how he got it into his truck afterward. He was no longer living next door when we moved in. They had taken him away to the home for the bewildered.

      Apparently, on top of the mobility issues, he had some mental issues as well. They were being handled by medication until he stopped taking it. It then seemed like a good idea to go hunting for people on his enemies list.

      I’ve forgotten the details from the rural legend spinners but he found mixed success in his endeavours and there he was gone to have his mobility limited even more.

  4. The creature rarely dies instantly and the meat becomes nasty. Only a complete and utterly clueless moron would make such a pathetic suggestion.

  5. Blackie’s CBC is outraged this morning that Canada’s new frigates may have a missile defense system that could be tied into the U.S. system. My God, next thing you know Blackie’s new army will want guns.

    2. Merry Christmas Canadians ! We hope you choose to be our allies in this dangerous world. However, it is your choice. The alternative of course is that you are a target and OMB has the finger on the button (for now). Even Jean Chretien could pretend to be one ?

  7. The idea of eating meat from a found animal at the side of the road is revolting.
    “hey it’s only a bit bloated, maybe some is still good” …
    I note on any of the products I’ve installed at work (I’m a plumber) that still have those tags from Calif with the warning of “this product contains “x” and has been shown to cause cancer in testing…” that nobody really reads. But eating “found animals” or recently killed is ok. I don’t understand Calif. Did anyone think to ask or inquire, why was eating roadkill made illegal in the first place?

    The “Road Kill Cafe” was a popular poster in the 80’s as it was beyond the realm of reality, nobody ever expected it could be real.
    But as everything from Calif, it’s only ridiculous for x years, before it becomes the norm, then the CBC report on it, and next it’ll be in one of their “CBC comedies” with the wooden actors pretending to act as real actors might on real Tv.

    Some auto companies have tested with moose dummies, I know SAAB – Volvo have.
    I doubt for the survival of anyone driving a Kia / Hyundai in these tests, or whatever is being imported from China like countries now.

    2. Marc – hate to tell you, but – back in the day – rural drivers in Alberta carried the phone number of the local game warden. Should an animal such as a deer happen to run into their path (or run into their vehicle, which did happen), the deal was one phoned the warden who then issued a permit for the driver to take said animal into a local abattoir for butchering and freezing. Had a child who was driving in the rural areas enough to have said number; fortunately, we didn’t have to use it.

      So far as I know, that’s still how it works. A deer tries to take you out; you get legal venison.

    1. “… what Canadians OTHER THAN TORONTO SOCIALISTS should eat…” Fixed it for ya!

      “I mean, like – really – y’know… Why can’t they all just eat $hit and die?”

  11. Road kill is routinely consumed in Alaska.

    Aside from that people need to tell the Liberals & other climate change nazis that meat is on the table now & forever at real market rates not fake climate rates.
    Raising meat does not cause climate change. The sun causes climate change.
    It is done ethically (vs Halal)
    That dickhead sockpuppet we have in the PMO will start taxing it if the UN says to.
    He has no idea what a steak cost 5 years ago vs today. just not on his radar.
    And if you do not know, Al Gore is a big investor is Soylent Green aka Beyond Meat. Obviously the plan is to make real meat so expensive to “save the planet” that the alternative will be pea protein and insiders will be making a killing feeding the world overpriced garbage.
    Just say FU!

  12. Roadkill dining will surely be followed by windmill-kill dining. Go to greeneating.com to get the best recipes for your ethically harvested Condor a l’orange. 🙂

    When will long pig road kill be legal?

  15. On the farm you sometimes do an “emergency slaughter” when an animal is injured. If you know the circumstances of how the animal was killed, not a problem. Random dead animal, no way.

  17. My son took out a deer on the road in the middle of the night. It must have been going full tilt as there was major front corner and door damage. Someone stopped and asked if he could take the deer and he took it. It is illegal in Alberta but maybe it shouldn’t be.

  18. Makes hunting less legalistic and easier to do.
    1-learn how to butcher a moose or deer.
    2-buy an old, cheap pickup truck, instal a moose bar bumper, similar to a roo bar used in Australia.
    3-cruise the highways, especially at night.
    No need for guns, ammo, the legal hassles of both, no hunting licence, no tag draw, no limits.
    Prove I wasn’t just out for a drive when the 6th moose this year ran out in front of me.
    Just luckily missed quite a few over the years, the closest one was when we were on the Harley Sportster, could have petted moosey running beside us on the highway.
    Usually the only bad meat is where the moose was hit, dressed quick enough, the rest is still good.
    Added bonus, it’s right at the road, no dragging the thing countless km out of the bush.

    1. I owned a junker truck that was a dented, rusted, oil-burning jalopy. Cost $300 to buy We mainly used it at the acreage to haul garbage and debris, tow items around the yard etc. It also was also a great truck to take to the local high school/college when I had company safety training.

      The school parking lot looked like a new car dealership because of the money around town. At the end of classes when everyone got into their vehicles to leave, the students left a wide berth around my truck because they knew I didn’t care about one more dent. The picture was somewhat like the scene in the movie of the parting of the Red Sea. Always made me smile.

      That style of truck would also be a good road kill vehicle. Important note: get the package policy with wildlife coverage on your insurance.

        1. Heh.
          Pretty much how I sometimes feel after a day of driving in the city of saskatoon and its parking lots. I’d rather deal with deer and moose on highways, byways and grid roads. Nicer creatures, by a country mile.

          Not everyone was meant to live in cities.

  22. What happens to road kill? Around me, in Alberta, almost 100% of the land is government owned forest. The highway maintenance contractor snowplows some short trails into the bush and dumps the animals for the wolves and ravens. Might be a great place to shoot a wolf. My son-in-law drove a snow plow and picked up roadkill one winter. He left one in my yard for my Pyrenees. I’m not sure how legal that was. He did 100 km of road and I asked him how many big animals he picked up in a year. He said about a hundred which was likely an exaggeration but probably not a big exaggeration.

  23. Why compromise?
    The most common road kill is Long Pig,Jeffery Dalmer was just ahead of his time.
    All that pseudo pork going to waste and most of it would be professionally carved by our fine medical careerists.
    Hell we could even offer the Chinese a specialty line,best Canadian Road Kill.
    Sarcasm aside ,there is no cure for stupid,however the only government involvement in roadkill meat consumption, should be the commercial/restaurant fraud aspect,knowingly eating such meat is the consumers problem.
    and putting an injured animal out of its misery and salvaging the meat is just plain human decency.
    Under the current regulations,you can get arrested for putting down a critter that is suffering horribly.
    While you wait for a poorly trained mounty to arrive,then watch shoot it repeatedly with a god damned hand gun,repeatedly missing the vital organs.

    1. “then watch shoot it repeatedly with a god damned hand gun,repeatedly missing the vital organs.”

      Was it a Lethbridge cop who decided it was a good idea to finish off a deer by driving over it repeatedly? Maybe besides a 9mm and an AR 15 rural cps should pack a cheap iron sight .308, something that will bring down a moose reliably at a range of 20 feet..

  24. When I was a starving university student, my buddies and I were on a White Tail hunt on opening day. The Semi we were following hit a buck and we couldn’t resist taking a look. Given it was warm with just the shoulder all blood shot, we tossed in on the roof of the 57 Plymouth and carried on to Smoky Lake. Turned out to be the only buck we saw all day so we tagged it and enjoyed everything but the harassment from my fellow forestry classmates.

  26. I know that this will come as a great surprise to you but the old trapper has consumed road kill many times.

    It depends on what kind of animal has been killed, how long it’s been dead and temperature. A moose hit in the head by a semi with a broken neck is as edible as one that has been shot.

    A moose hit broadside by a semi is road pizza. So it depends on the circumstances. I’ve picked up grouse and ducks that were fine. It helps to know how to butcher and deal with a carcass.

    I’ve got a couple of buddies who picked up a moose that got stroked on Highway 2 near the Edmonton airport. All 4 quarters loaded in the pickup in 18 minutes. A freezer full of perfectly fine meat.

    1. You hit nearly all the points I was going to make. Thank you.
      Most People who haven’t butchered more than a few animals are horrified by gore and have no idea what is required to preserve meat. I pick up all the fresh road kill I find. My dogs love me. They get most of it. I ate a left hind leg of fawn last fall. All the rest of it was pulverized and blood shot. Dogs love that. I know it was fresh because I heard the bang and saw the truck leaving the scene and the fawn was warm enough to be still alive. It was delicious. I have been eating select road kill since my early twenty’s and at a healthy seventy some, I think I can say if you know what you are about and you are careful it won’t kill you.
      An Old Inuit said. “He who has not eaten with the wolf, has not known hunger.”

  27. I found road kill and tried quartering it, but the cops were not amused, even tho I told them it was a liberal.

  28. I invite all Prius driving, liberal voting, CBC watching, meat eaters (I know, a very small subset of intelligent life) to hunt moose with their Prius. (The Moose will win, when it lands on the roof.)

  29. When that car in the picture hits a moose…
    So we are to eat the moose if it is killed. What about the driver? Hitting a moose with that car is going to take out the driver sometimes too.

  31. I knew a couple who clipped the legs out from under a moose with their neon. It fell on the windshield squishing them flat and grinding glass into their faces. The medical teams fought like hell to save them, a week for her, three weeks for him. They are doing pretty good now except for a bit of sinus trouble. Her looks actually improved a little. If you want to see them turn pale just say Moose.
