MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A new call center operated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is making it easier for motorists who kill deer in auto accidents to get a permit to keep the game meat.
Motorists previously were required to contact local police and wait for an officer to arrive and issue a permit before they could take the animal.
Now Stevens Point Journal Media reports the call center is able to issue permits to motorists who want to keep a roadkill carcass any time of day or night.
