Jighead I love re-re-opening day Registered: 04/05/02 Posts: 11226	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 Originally Posted By: PDona I can't imagine what little kids think of this. 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

It's up to the local highway department on town roads and ConnDOT on state highways to pick them up.

KillTaker Member Registered: 04/17/06 Posts: 11811 Loc: Southbury, CT	EnCon 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?
