Waste Not Want Not....

The doe came out of nowhere at 1pm in the afternoon.  Car full of family and dogs.  The impact happened so fast nobody had a second to react. 

Family and dog came out unscathed.  Truck was a mess, radiator hissing steam.

The hunter gatherer in me kicked right in.  

In 2016 the state of Washington developed a program allowing people to recover road kill game and while my truck was crushed, I was going to make lemons into lemonaide

All legal.

Some loss due to impact, but overall a lot of meals hung there.   Running around and trying to get the meat cool within a respectful amount of time in comparison the the 90 degree day, I was able to thankfully put the meat on ice within an hour and a half.

Salt and pepper, dusted with garlic.  Into the Traeger it goes

A busted truck, paid for in part with fresh venison....
