I agree with sealdriver if it's not been shot don't bother with it, as great as the idea of free meat is eating road kill deer in particular can be quite dangerous. When people cull deer they have usually done a dsc1 or been taught by some someone with years of experience of gralloching and inspecting the carcass, checking lymph glands, liver etc and preparing it in a sanitary way to preserve the meat without spoiling it. Alternatively if a vet has been out and put it out it's misery the stuff they use can kill you too, it's not a vets job to remove the carcass they just do there bit and leave.
However I you knock it over and know how to prep/check it then it's game on!
