Whos job is it to remove dead dear from the highways??

FYI, there are 3 on rt 9 South from the Exit 6 entrance down to the exit 5 area ! ! Also another deer on rt 9 north just getting on the Essex entrance.
I was a little disturbed, this am, I can't imagine what little kids think of this.

I don't know about always, but I know the town crews do remove them. Rt 9 might be a state highway, and maybe its a state crew

What do they think...I don't know.
What should they be told....I have my own ideas that telling then the truth is a good place to start.

....If we have any say... Vote for May

Once the animals are killed by a vehicle they are considered solid waste. It's up to the local highway department on town roads and ConnDOT on state highways to pick them up.

I think that half the guys who cook for the game dinner do.

I've got gas and I've got crabs. You wanna go out?

Whats the regulation on an individual taking posession of the animal?

For instance, I come up behind someone who just hits a deer. It is April. I want to take it home and eat it. Can I? Do I need to call the town or state?

If it's "solid waste" should be not a problem! laugh
