What is CT law on roadkill?

Much to the amusement of some but with serious intent, this past legislative session included modifications to the state's so-called "roadkill law" to address the impacts of vehicle collisions with bears and moose as well as deer. Simply put, in Connecticut if your vehicle strikes and fatally injures one of these animals, once the authorities have attended to the accident scene you are entitled to take the animal home and eat it. If you do not choose to exercise this right, anyone else who wishes to take possession of the carcass has the right to take it home and eat it.
