Hi!
I’m a reporter with MinnPost, working on a story about how people can get possession permits for roadkill that they hit in Minnesota.
I’m wondering if anyone on this forum has experience with a wildlife collision, where they applied for a possession permit and were able to keep the animal. I’d be curious to learn how the process worked and what you thought of the experience. Feel free to reply here and we can connect via phone!
Just call the DNR 
these bots are getting crazy.
Happens every day. Every law enforcement officer in the state can issue the permits. No applications.

I witnessed a deer come out of a road ditch and run into the side of a car on a highway. The deer hit the right corner of the vehicle along the bumper. The der died on the spot and little damage done to the car. The driver was a woman. I stopped and checked things on the car out and then called the cops after asking the woman if she was wanting the deer. A highway patrol showed up within minutes, cleared the woman to leave and gave me a possession tag after I gave him my driver’s license. Pretty simple process.
Three years ago open day of deer season three cars of us hunters were leaving Rochester and found a nice buck still alive but with a broken back on a sidewalk well within the city limits. A call to the cops was made. A deputy sheriff was on his way to work and fielded the call. Same process…. one of the guys wanted the deer. The deputy shot the deer and gave the guy his permit. The sidewalk was along a parkway with lots of vegetation, so the deer got dragged off the sidewalk into the deep stuff and field dressed. The deputy stayed there until the deer was loaded and away we all went.
The process is pretty simple and straight forward as long as nothing fishy is evident.
yup just contact the local pd on the non emergency line and they will issue a possession tag.
They frown on you gutting them in someone yard or a parking lot…..
Ava Kian I recommend starting with skunks and racoons. They are easier to hit when you are drunk. They taste like chicken I swear. Let them air out for at least 4 weeks hanging in your backyard shed before you boil and eat. The maggots will go away when you boil it.
As a point of order, there actually is a reporter at MinnPost called Ava Kian. Just sayin.
