CBdogsA1 420 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 A good percentage of fox and badger will be holed up at the moment with young, so not so many running around to get hit. Pheasants getting territorial now and they love a roadside verge and picking grit etc of the roads. Thick as shit to mind ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CBdogsA1 420 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 LOL, if there is a stupid way to die, they will find it. There is an old couple up here, moved from Manchester and they drive round 3 times a week lifting road kill for themselves to eat. They are both in their eighties !!!!!!!

gnipper 6,080 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 That doctor (from Devon think it was) has picked them all up Seriously, story in Telegraph today about some doc who makes badger baltis from roadkill and feeds his family with it. His kids love it apparently. Badger balti I'd be curious lol But cops have warned folk from copying him as it might lead to bad guts. whats it got to do with the cops? thought they would have more important things to do than try to control what people eat!!!! Unless its a criminal offence to eat badger roadkill now!! seriously, loads of badgers and muntjac dead on the roads round here, not many foxes or rabbits though It's a criminal offence to touch s badger, dead or alive isn't it?

beast 1,884 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 at one time i used to drive some of the minor roads round woburn going to work and back, i reckon i averaged one chinese water deer per week picked up and put in the truck off the road. only had two dogs at the time, and they could hardly keep up with the amount of meat i was bringing home. more fallow out where i am now, but rarely find them killed by cars.
