I know there must be places where rich pickings for people who can stomach it can be found, and remember meat we all eat can be the best part of a month old, I've found I'm not keen on Rabbit stew, perhaps made into burgers with some pork fat it would be more enjoyable, domestic pets I could not do that too unless I was desperate and I mean cannibalistic desperate, and I'd prefer anything to not be rotten :lol: but wouldn't rule much out, am I the only one suspecting the guy in the article has developed a taste (an acquired one you may say) for road kill possibly after loosing a ring ;)
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

I have never eaten roadkill before but I wouldn't have any qualms about eating it so long as it was fresh and the carcass was in usable conditions. I was a bit surprised to see whole animals in the guys freezer as well as putting the whole animal into the pot (minus the guts and probably hide as it showed him gutting the polecat). I imagine it is safe enough putting it straight in the freezer but if I was to do it myself I would naturally gut and skin the animal upon getting home and either use it straight away or put the cuts of meat in the freezer.

last time we had road kill it was a bit of a waste of time , was a deer, lying at the side of the road , when we opened it up the guts had burst so back to the woods it went.

Roadkill is ok, as long as you travel the road often and early. Please bear in mind that under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, and the two Badger Acts, it is illegal to be in possession of fresh badger carcasses. How do I know? Back in the day, when it was legal, I kept a team of Russell x Lakies for foxing and badgering. Those acts put the kaibosch on the badgering, full stop.

Also, as the badger is a member of the Mustelid family(relatives of ferrets, polecats and mink) I would not want to eat one! Pukesville!
