Valkyrie Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 You should pop down here - the road to Alton is littered with fresh venison. Seems the locals have had enough free meat to last a lifetime because when we first moved here we were told "Ooops, word censored!"ody drives past a nice bit of roadkill - which is why you never see dead deer on the roads. It was true! Until recently - you can do a brilliant Hugh Fearlesslyeatsitall around here! I'm a bit more picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjp Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 my Dad wasn't adverse to picking up the odd road kill pheasant when He was a truck driver back in the 40's and 50's knowing the old man probably later not that he'd have told mom that as he said when he'd been out on the road for 3 or 4 weeks fresh meat was fresh meat he spent all the war driving for the MOT through officially he worked for the coal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 I guess it was a lot more quiet on the roads back then - now it's positively dangerous to stop and haul in a trophy or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 One night I was driving home with DD many moons ago and there had been a terrible accident. Must have been deer versus lorry. Talk about slalom driving and missing body parts. DD was trying not to heave and there was me laughing maniacally and she was going NO NO NO! Dual carriageway too! Although anyone going there to pick up bits didn't have to butcher it - was already jointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
