You may collect any non-game animal from the side of, or off the roadyway as roadkill. You may also collecct any father that is NOT attached to a carcass. For deer, elk. fox, rabbit you need to obtain the proper permit. Here's the catch if you get a trapping permit then you can collect anything that is trapable except big game and birds.
Most DWR agents will have no problem in letting you collect roadkill for their fur, feathers or other parts that you may desire. (shudders) I collect the tails of skunks for my black wolly buggers, they are the best. I have no permit and the DWR in my area has no problem with the collection. Deer on the other hand is off limits. They have a contract with this fellow who drives around and collects them from the road side. So all of them belong to him. Just check with your local DWR agent and find out their feelings on this. They have huge leway in their discretion on this matter. You don't want to run into a hard nose now.
