A trawler would/should (most likely know the laws) pertaining to a trawl license.

However - If you do hit a 12 Point Buck with your truck, you are allowed to keep it.
-You must notify fish and game to report the incident first. They will either respond to the incident, or grant you permission to transport the animal directly to a DFG check station.
-You can also notify the local PD to report the incident if DFG is closed or not available to gain permission to possess or transport the animal, and subsequently take the animal to DFG for inspection.

Living in Jersey you need to know these things, because you can score several deer a night on the roads of monmouth county.
-Hopefully not with your own truck.

I think it varies from state to state... Roadkill...It's what's for dinner!!!

As Jim pointed out, it does vary from state to state. However, for the state of California, not only is a truck NOT a legal method of take, it is not permissible to keep roadkill, per the CA F&G regulations.


Jim called this one; the guy tried to sneak the fish into the dock with the intention of selling it. All he's doing now is damage control. My guess is that F&G is now involved and he'll be cited.

Not in CA though Billy. Even with tags you cant keep road kill in CA. They are afraid of people doing exactly what you said and hitting deer in state park, roads on/near private land, etc.
