Eric,
That is interesting 100+ deer a year.

I presume this is Upper MI??

When I was an LEO,if we came across a decent road kill deer,we would have a butcher process the deer in his own garage (not allowed to do it in the store by law). Then the meat would be put in hunters for the hungry bags and given to soup kitchens.

We would check off the tag as "left for wildlife". There was no provision in the state law that permitted it to be donated.
