Taking care of bloodshot meat isnt a problem. If you put the meat in a cooler full of ice and leave it for 7-10 days, all that blood will drain out. I have taken deer shoulders that have been shot thru, put in a cooler full of ice and not lose a handfull of meat. I dont pick up road kill simply because I dont know how long the deer has laid on the road. I would be more worried about spoiled meat, than the blood shot part. Also, if the guts are busted open, I dont want any part of it.
I almost totaled my car on a deer. Deer came up running out of a ditch so close I had no chance to do anything. I' m such a good customer at the fender shop they worked with me and kept the estimate down below the vehicles blue book. Then I forgot that in this state you can legally harvest road kill as long as you report it. One deer went to waste.
Let me guess, a dog was chasing it.
@chipper1 ? Maybe he runs around chasing deer also.

What I remember the most is how difficult it was to access/adjust the intake valves. I still have the special 10mm offset box wrench that I bought from the MAC man to make the job easier. These were the first year green tank models and it looks like they made it easier in later years because your intake covers look flatter. The used to have the same cover as the exhaust and it would hit the carbs when trying to remove it. .002 intake .004 exhaust, I can't remember **** nowadaze so why is that still stuck in my head. 
Good to know. My Dad hit a deer one year and called me wanting to know if I wanted it. I was afraid of the same things so I said no. Luckily, a woman saw the accident, stopped and said she would take it. It would be her family's meet for the winter. She called her husband and the deer didn't go to waste.
Just ditch the toolbox and add a headache rack. It will be perfect!
I haven’t tried that yet, LoL.
I thought that the ice machine was supposed to be used 30 minutes at a time. I have one plus I have the ice wrap pads. From what I recall it was 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. When they tell you to bend that knee do it. You will need to break up the scar tissue. I did mine using my stairs and crunches. My therapist climbed up on the exercise table and put all of her weight on my knee. It really didn't hurt but she managed to break up what was left of the scar tissue. I now have full knee movement.
My "wood shed" is under my walk-out deck. I load enough under there for a year back in Aug/Sept. The rest is in the covered pile out back I shown before. Right now, fresh cut wood is being stacked by the pile waiting for winter splitting days. Probably five truck loads now.
This time of year with the temps not getting higher then the 40s I don't have any issues grabbing them. Normally your getting called right after they were hit so fresh isn't an issue. Busted guta sucks for sure, forutinatly I haven't had many thay were hit that bad.
I've never hit a deer, but my wife seems to attract them. She hit a doe that the car in front of her hit. Took out the left fender, hood, one head light and windshield of the crv. I couldn't believe it but the deer was nowhere to be found when I got there. Had a real hard time believing it was still alive, but I didn't find it.
Sorry about the 4 letter words, I'm a realist, snow happens
I've been watching the radar out further than normal since I've been driving. You could see the SE corner of all the great lakes getting slammed with lake effect, everywhere else not much going on.A small town north of Buffalo recorded 71.5 inches of snowthat just insane!!

. -5°C or about 23°F with the wind blowing this morning. Set aside the poplar and got an arm load of maple and ash this morning. Time for a real fire. Drinking coffee and catching up on the last 10 pages here.... putting off getting back on the tractor and digging out again. 
Fill it up with wood and pull wheelies with it.
