Road Kill in Alabama

We were driving south on I-59 when I commented to Linda that we didn't see any dead deer along the highway.  In Pennsylvania you see dead deer along the highway every few miles, or so it seems.  I speculated that maybe in Alabama the authorities removed them.

I mentioned this to Linda's cousin Terry, and he explained the reason we saw no deer.  In Alabama people stop and pick them up.  Why waste good venison?  He's said he's seen situations where a driver hits a deer and the following driver will stop and inquire, "Do you want that deer?"

He said the general rule is, if you see a dead deer and it is still warm, it is good to go.
