I kinda doubt this one too. I know that in PA or at least when I lived there those road kills were handled quite deliberately. You couldn't just take a road kill deer home. The game commission would have to have it removed and rarely would they allow anyone to have the carcass.

I can vouch for that. I saw one once and it scared the pee-water right out of me. I have friends who say they would have gotten out of the car and offerred it fruit or tried to be peaceful and approach it. I tell them they have no concept under god what they are talking about. With my encounter I had one goal and one only, to get the hell away from it.
If you ever run across one, you will never forget it. The fear that runs thru your body will burn itself into your very soul. I have no idea why that is.
I feel sorry for them. When they encounter mankind it's usually in a rural setting and we either start shooting, or hit the gas and try to run them over or simply freak out.
They have good reason to avoid us at all cost.

Yes, I was aware of that. However, that doesn't mean he couldn't have given the deer to someone.

You started your quote with you doubted it, because in PA where you live, where I live as well, there are crews that are supposed t pick up roadkill.
I was pointing out that this guy WAS one of those roadkill cleaners.
That having been said, I do know that there are people that WILL snag a fresh kill. I was even told that if the legs aren't sticking straight out from the body, the deer is fresh enough to take home.. Though I would think you'd want to field dress it right then and there, to keep the deer good enough to eat.
Something to file away with things I never knew I never knew, and would have been glad not to know, though it could come in handy one day...
Digression aside..
I know that is "I" were on a roadkill crew, and "I" decided that I was going to snag a fresh kill, "I" would not even say that I had picked up a body. That makes more sense than, Oh I picked up a body, and SOMETHING stole it from me.
As far as I know, they aren't on the radio calling in every deer, fox, or raccoon they clean up from the road, and there isn't likely to be someone waiting back at the landfill, or where ever they take the bodies to tally up the body count, with the reported count.
And if there WAS, it would be far smarter not to report that particular carcass, as I stated.
