I mostly see raccoons, possums, deer, rabbits and skunks. I have seen an occasional snake, turtle, owl, pheasant porcupine, and ooodles of 2-D frogs and toads.

If you come across road kill that's been recently hit, the meat is still probably fresh enough to take home and cook. There are several excellent road kill cookbooks on the market. Good eatin!!!!

I've seen my share of road-hides while riding, but the worst by far was a horse that had been hit by a car and left on the side of the road. 
We could tell it was hit by a car by all the auto parts lying near the dead animal. It just broke our hearts to see such a beautiful animal killed like that and just left there.

You know the roadkill is fresh and edible if it moans as you run over it.

GRENDEL, Have you ever tried to drag a horse off the road, or anywhere else for that matter? I'm sure it was waiting for the tankage truck.
trmcgeehan, THAT'S JUST SICK!
I had a stupid mutt run into my front tire this week and just about knock me off my bike! Road kill dosen't seem all that bad "just kidding"!
We have a factory here that turns dead animal parts into "god knows what" and road kill goes into the mix! BTW that's the tankage truck.

Once i hit a waterbird with my workvan, i stopped and noticed that it was not dead yet, so i reversed and drove backwards and killed the bird!
I`m a restless soul since that happened.....
I`m a cruel man
(Note: i didn`t had tools in the back, so it was the only way to get this bird out of misery)
