A fine for hitting an animal? Where? mtmuley

If there was a state that did that (and I doubt that there is), I would guess CA, CO, OR, and/or WA…

I dont believe it...otherwise insurance companies wouldn't pay a claim anywhere.

Glad you’re okay. He comes through the windshield and it’s a different story.

There is a stretch of rural highway here I call the gauntlet. Deer and elk both. I've seen them hit in broad daylight. In the dark it's a slow ride if you are smart. mtmuley

I’d just give them the truck.

Nope, can salvage them in Washington. Now if you hit someone's steer on the road in range land, yep, you pay for that.

Unless the frame is toast, that should be rebuildable if that is the only damage in the picture.

 

[noharleyyet]

Too much expansion..glad you're relatively ok.

 

[44hunter45]

Not sure how much meat you would have gotten .

True. I've salvaged a couple deer. More than half bloodshot.

Still - half a moose...

Fished Georgetown myself on Saturday and saw that moose on my way up around 8 am, glad you’re alright.

i drive snowplow all winter for the state, so have to be fit for duty then,,,

Here in PA you can get a salvage tag. If you want a rack you pay per point. Almost found out the hard way a deer with 4 busted legs that is suffering cannot be dispatched. At least that was the threats made to us about possible prosecution. Only the WCO can do that.

Glad you’re ok! Curious if that was on Highway 1 between Maxville and Pburg? I had to brake hard for a moose there a year or 2 ago.. Also I think I figured out where you live from your second pic. We’re almost neighbors

Pa. State police can dispatch them also.

Not CA or OR.

I don't believe a fine for hitting wildlife exists. Only livestock gets that protection.

I'd have to Google, but Montana is a free range state I believe. mtmuley

Montana is an open range state. That does not extend to interstates though. I hit two cows on the freeway just west of Whitehall and my insurance did not pay out.

I’ll buy anyone a case of beer who can show me a state in the US where it is a criminal offense to unintentionally hit a wild animal with a vehicle while driving down the highway.
