Quick! Knoxville area hunters/deer processors. Who wants a roadkill deer?


Recommended Posts

Posted

During my morning run I spotted a dead doe in a ditch near the intersection of Emory Church Rd and Westland Drive in West Knox County. This is Just East of the Westland drive exit from Pellisippi Parkway. Maybe this is a pointless post, but I figure someone may be able to process it if it was an overnight road kill and the temperature is/has been cold enough.

Bit late now, however for future information.

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency - FAQs

I've just hit a deer. What do I do? Who is responsible for the damage to my vehicle?

All big game found dead should be left where found and need not be reported. If you are concerned about the dead deer on the state road, you can call the State Highway Department. If it is on a county road, you may call the County Road Department. Individuals wanting to keep big game found dead must first contact the local Regional TWRA office for authorization. Any vehicle in which an illegally possessed big game animal is found is subject to confiscation. Deer accidentally killed by a motor vehicle may be possessed by any person for personal use and consumption if the TWRA or a local law enforcement agency is notified within 48 hours. You will need to report the incident to your insurance company because the state is not liable for the damages caused by wild animals pursuant to T.C.A. 9-8-307.

Noted... Never been a hunter; and TWRA regs are certainly outside my area of practice. I've dealt with many cases involving guns in one way or another... But unfortunately none of them involved hunting....
