Default No roadkill allowed

A heads up for all you trappers and hunters that use roadkill deer for bait while trapping or shooting baitsites ..no longer allowed in a zone where there has been a positive case of CWD . I would guess that is also in those zones that require CWD testing ...officer didn't have an answer for that yet but is looking into it for me .

I heard that last year but checked with F&W and was told I could use for bait in the same zone the road kill came from.

No really.
Emcon picks up the road kill and dumps it in a field that they have land owner permission from and the coyotes eat it there.
No difference between their dump spot and my bait site.

Same here. My CO also asked for a picture of the roadkill taken in situ, if possible.

Montana was composting them at one time, always wondered if that would kill the prions, barely a life form.

Or they don't even pick it up and the coyotes have it eaten in two days.

There is also no rule about shooting a deer in one zone and dumping bones in another.

I agree with all of the comments given , it makes no sense to me .. however I am curious to hear what others experience are this year when they ask for their roadkill permits .. PM me if you would rather not post it . On a technicality point I would think that using butchered carcasses in the same zone should be allowed because they are not roadkill .

As someone on the border of 4 zones I have to deal with this a lot. Our officer asks for pictures from multiple angles showing that's indeed a roadkill and asks that the carcase not be moved into other zones. He will ask roughly where I intend on taking it and says yes or no based on where it was found and is going.

Trappers have been allowed to recover road kill for years. However as stated must be used in same WMU as road kill site. Required to inform F & W. Road kill in CWB area restriction a different twist but makes sense.

Some how I don’t think it does. That’s one reason they don’t want you to dump carcasses from one area in another area.

My local transfer station has a permit to compost road kill bison. Due to the brucellosis risk they can’t sell the compost so it goes to a landfill. Goofy but is the way it is.

Manitoba has had strict rules for years around cwd. Skulls coming from outside have to be clean and boiled. I don’t believe that kills prions either but it can’t hurt to limit the volume of material. They recently found an infected mule deer in sw Manitoba.
Collared and tagged deer have roamed for hundreds of miles in studies. Eventually it will be everywhere.
