I know you need to get a permit for road kill deer and you are not legally allowed to keep antlers, but what's the law on fox?

If no one sees you, its legal

I've dragged more than afew dead deer out of "the middle" of the road. Sometimes, I get new rattlin' horns !!

Usually its just a doe, but no sense in having someone get hurt in an accident because I chose NOT to move it. Mind you, this is a very rural area.

I think each Twp can issue a permit for you to keep road-kill, no matter the species. You'd have to check with your town.

i made a few bucks on road kill coon.
if the season is open there shouldn't be any problem with possesing one.
they aren't as regulated or watched as deer, thats because all the poaching.

get them quick, the bellies will turn green quick when it's warm.

According to "Ranger Rick" who walked around my yard for two hours declaring every piece of animal bone to be a felony - essentially calling me a poacher....you can't possess any part of an animal unless you killed it legally hunting or purchased it in a grocery store. 

So you are saying that last year, while going hunting, you ran over a fox.  Sounds legal to me.

Ironically, I can shoot fox, coyote, coon and whatever - cut off the head, bring it home and let it rot in my garden and I am legal but if I have a coon skull that I fournd in the woods I am in violation.

This agency law is bullshit.  If I had the cash I would challenge it and alot of it would be overturned.  No point though.  I answer to my conscience and nobody else.

I would think that the state would be happy for somebody to take the roadkill away because then they dont have to, but I guess this state is just the opposite.

Sheds are legal.  However, a deer skull with antlers is not unless you have a tag.  Weird, stupid game laws.

Legally, no.  You can't even get a roadkill tag because they are only valid for the meat.  Again, stupid laws.

the law probably exists for the few people who try to turn a profit by selling animals/parts, or people who enter roadkill racks into competitions and such, as well as the people who might say they "found" the deer dead.  it might give them a loophole to get away with poaching.  But the reality is that the number of people that acually might do this is miniscule.  the vast majority of us enjoy the outdoors and cool stuff like bones, antlers, shells, etc and would like to keep them as decoration/mementos etc.  good ol NJ
