know if this is correct so hopefully somebody can let us know.

This is also how the poaching law in Scotland,.. but there is never anyone around to know who hit the animal in the first place.

As for eating road kill, there is no difference between that and eating gun shot animals, providing they are taken fresh,... I often either pick them up in my car,... or if I am in my works van I will often gut them just off the side of the road and collect the meat later,.. I get some the dogs get most of them
