I don’t mind it when someone says “I don’t know, but I’ll be happy to find out.” It still may not be their job, but it sure sounds more like they care about you.

I didn’t mention in my posting, but I DID contact the Game Warden. Unfortunately, he STILL has not called me back. If he had been my first contact [and I got a real person] I probably would have gotten it resolved sooner and I may have been able to skin the animal and use the skin and leave the rest in the woods for the Mountain Lion and coyotes that live there. They appreciate the feast almost as much as the buzzards. As for eating Road Kill, well, this may spark an article for one of the magazines I contribute to; I grew up in a society where it was common to eat this easily acquired ‘meat’ where money wasn’t readily available for buying from a grocer or butcher.

Things have changed since my growing up years in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Most times, if someone hit a deer they just stopped and tied it to the car and took it home to eat. If they did not want the deer, the next person who came along usually did. No one was ever called, especially not a government representative. It was FOOD and not to be wasted. Everybody had plenty of ways to cook and serve venison. I wonder if that is still true today? Sorry for all the aggravation, I know it can take both time and emotion away from more interesting pursuits… like making soap!

Rhonda…
I’m with you – I really hate to hear “Not My Job” and believe me, I hear it alot where I work and out in the community. Why can’t we all just work together to make work, our community, the world a better place?
Then there’s the deer – too bad you don’t live here – the Bays Mountains Wolves feast on “road kill deer” all the time — they’d be thrilled to know you had a dead deer on your property! But, I don’t know of anyone else who would be thrilled. Hope you get this resolved – and soon!

Hey Rhonda….In Leander, the Game Wardens control all dead animals. You might have to haul it into the road, though. :-p

Rhonda, I love the chicken story. I also enjoyed reading about making lye, although I don’t plan on doing that myself any time soon.
