forest of dean redneck 12,023 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 So driving back from work seen a deer roadkill an got me thinking , you can’t go on a farmers land an take game ie deer as it’s poaching , transfers from one farmers boundary to another as the beast crosses. So is a road/public highway a grey area also if a livestock came out on the road an caused an accident /damage ,I assume you can claim off the farmer/owner so how long before someone try’s claiming off a landowner for a deer leaving his land and entering the road And no I’ve not been drinking an I don’t do drugs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,800 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Wild deer becomes the property of who Evers land it’s on , so if it’s hit in the road it’s the local council/highways agency farmed deer would come under the same rules and regulations as any other farmed animal .. farmer would be liable 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 32,058 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 The small cottage I stay at in Brecon is just off one of those long winding roads that every man with a motor bike has to go screaming along most weekends and when I was last up there in June the farmer who,s land borders the road had lost 26 sheep since January that's an average of one a week, doubt he,s paying out every week or are there different laws in national parks or were animals graze on open moors, doubt the local butcher sells much lamb up there when you can pick them up for free all spring Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No cause pheasants are classed as a wild bird and so ownership becomes who Evers land the bird is on . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Likewise if you don't bleed them out quickly you get a similar result. It would take something special for me to stop and collect a road kill deer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Fed many litters of terriers on road kill deer .Wouldn't eat one myself though .Internal bleeding and ruptured stomachs are the norm both of which dont exactly inspire culinary delights .
