Roadkill law went into effect this week If you hit and kill a deer or elk today, you’ve potentially got a free meal. A new law went into effect Tuesday allowing the salvage of road-killed deer and elk. A free online permit is all that’s required after the fact and you can find it at www.odfw. com/roadkill. The change in law was re- quired after the passage of Senate Bill 372 during the 2017 Oregon State Legisla- tive session. Following are the key reg- ulations to follow to legally salvage roadkill: Submit the online permit within 24 hours of salvaging a deer or elk. (Note that com- pleting an online permit is not allowed until the animal is actually salvaged, as spe- cific information about loca- tion, date and time of salvage is required.) •Only deer and elk accidently struck by a vehicle may be salvaged and the meat is for human consumption only. Intentionally hitting a deer or elk remains unlawful. •White-tailed deer may only be salvaged from Douglas County and east of the crest of the Cascade Mountains because of the protected status for white-tailed deer in most of western Oregon. •The entire carcass of the animal, including gut piles, must be removed from the road and road right of way during the salvage. •Any person (not just the driver who struck the animal) may salvage a deer or elk killed by a vehicle. •Only the driver of the vehicle that struck the animal may salvage an animal in cases where a deer or elk is injured and then humanely killed to alleviate suffering; law enforcement must also be immediately notified as required by state statute. •The antlers and head of all salvaged animals must be surrendered to an Ore- gon Department of Fish and Wildlife office within five business days of taking pos- session of the carcass.
