Lawmakers in the US state have overwhelmingly passed a bill allowing locals to salvage meat from the carcasses of wild animals killed in road accidents.
When signed into law by the governor, Montana could become "the ultimate drive-through destination for adventurous foodies", the website Huffington Post noted.
Steve Lavin, the legislator who introduced the bill, said that the idea came to him as he drove the open highways of the predominantly rural state and started to count the carcasses lining the road.
"It really is a sin to waste a good meat," said Larry Jent, a state senator who also supports the legislation.

I wouldn't bother stopping unless I actually hit the animal. I wouldn't take a chance on it being fresh enough to eat. And where do you field-dress it? Right there? What if you're hours from home?

He always looked to be sure the eyes were clear, what stage the rigor mortis was, and ambient temperatures..he never got sick as far as I knew..of coarse he would cut out the bruising and blood clots from the hit, and he cooked to 165 degrees plus..

And hey, the way the sequester's going, the rest of us may need to start scavenging for meals this way, too ...
