We provide State ROADKILL LAWS
While owls are primarily nocturnal, most active at night, Daylight Saving Time doesn't quickly alter their behavior, they adjust slowly to the time change. Owls start hunting at dusk and reach peak activity during the night. The time change causing darkness to overlap with rush hour, results in getting hit by cars, it's illegal to take owl roadkill without a permit. Watch for owls in March, the beginning of spring, if you see an owl on the side of the road, don’t wait and see if it flies away, stop see if he needs help.
Owls and other birds nationwide are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, it's illegal to possess them without a Special Purpose Utility (SPUT) Permit, allowing you to pick up or dispose of the bird. SPUT Permits can be obtained by contacting your regional Migratory Bird Program Permit Office. https://www.fws.gov/service/3-200-81-special-purpose-utility
Roadkill as Opportunity
Beginning in the 1920’s roadkill has been treated by many as an unfortunate byproduct to avoid, remove, and forget after driving by. This mindset has changed in the 2020’s!
Roadkill is now recognized as a data source for DNR agencies, a food source, and an ecological signal. While developing and deploying a roadkill reporting and retrieval app, Roadkill Art works with individuals and communities who stopped asking “How fast can we get rid of it?” and started asking “Let’s test it and see if it fresh in order to get processed”. Patterns have emerged from the app; more repeat strike zones are known, monthly spikes in roadkill for each state are known, and people who have never considered eating roadkill, now are.
Ignoring roadkill doesn’t make it go away, but it does takes away someone having a few pounds of game meat in the freezer. What would change if we treated roadkill not as a common misfortunate loss—but as opportunity?

Comprehensive Coverage with Vehicle Insurance
Deer season is here, we are coming into the height of roadkill deer season which happens during the rut. The rut is mating season for deer, male deer are chasing female deer, which sends them both running across roads. Most deer-vehicle collisions are reported during the months of October, November, and December. Check your Auto Insurance Policy to make sure you have Comprehensive Coverage, especially anyone who lives in rural areas. It covers deer accidents, paying to repair or replace your vehicle if it's damaged when hitting a deer. A vehicle must make physical contact with a deer for a crash to be covered under Comprehensive Coverage. Swerving to miss a deer and crashing is a collision claim. If you own your car outright Comprehensive Coverage is optional. Most lenders require having Comprehensive Coverage when financing or leasing a car.

When on Back Roads Turn on the Roaming Option
Sometimes on back roads where quality big game roadkill is and where it is safer to pull over and make a roadkill report, phones can have poor connectivity. Carriers do not reach all locations. For this reason when making a roadkill report in the Roadkill Art app the report might not log into the system immediately, being visible on the Map View and List View. Go to your settings and turn on the roaming option. Your phone now has the ability to connect to other carriers that do cover the location and the roadkill report will instantly log into the app
.
When using the roaming option domestically phone bills do not increase or receive added charges.
