This weekend I got a roadkill elk. I don't know exactly when it was killed, but there as no gas in her belly, rigor was just starting to set in, her eyes were still clear, and there were no bad smells inside or out. I imagine she had been dead about an hour. I processed her quickly and only kept meat that was not bloodshot. I don't know how bad her internal injuries were because I did not gut her, but she really wasn't beaten up that badly. Her lower legs were broken and she had a busted up head, but the majority of her shoulders, rump, and backstrap were fine. Does anyone have experience eating a roadkill animal? I am thinking she will taste no different than a shot elk. Am I wrong?
