I been down that sorry road Ben. Yeah, you should let epo's know but town cops often don't know the rules so when something like that happens it gets swept under the carpet.
A few years ago my brother came across a hit deer, laying there still alive in distress. My brother offered to take it down with his bow....the cop said go a head and he threw it in the pick up, no biggie.
About 8 yrs ago, we had alot of red tape over that same thing, hit deer, the lady didn't want it, gave it to my brother, cop said its ok. We cleaned and package it up. Epo's call and say.. bring every inch of that deer down here now or else. So he brings two big hams(frozen) they take the hams and give my brother a ticket for illegle possion of a deer. WTF! The law states: the deer 1st belongs to the driver then the the state. Well the driver gave the deer to my brother and the cop called it in to make sure. Those sob's just wanted free meat and gave him a written warning to boot. We then went downtown and visted congressman Barny Frank and told him we got porked. They erased the warning and kept the meat. So they can do pretty much what ever they want,, it all depends on who's at the scene.
