I pick up anything it's dad where I live we find all kinds of interesting critters Chinese pheasant, quail coyotes Fox deer cows skunks badgers you'll find all these on my highway. I slammed on my brakes many time especially when I see a nice rooster pheasant Lane in there. I love to gets skunks if they are not to smelly.

Got more than a few dead critters, just make sure to carry surgical gloves, a few garbage bags and some clippers and sharp knives. In the summer I'll mostly just take squirrel tails as that usually all that's left of it,

Fur is prime this time of year, so the tails are really good. If I didn't weigh 75000lbs and 70'long I'd be coming home with loads of buckets for bamboo and tails by the score. Passed a fresh red fox, a big one, just last week. Of course, nowhere to pull off.

Sounds like you guys need a bumper sticker that reads "I brake for roadkill".

Apple cider vinegar and tomato juice. Let soak two days. If that don't work place the tail in a plastic bag, pour ammonia in it, tie and wait for garbage pick up day. Toss it in the trash. Go fishin.
