Today 28 states have laws in place making it legal to harvest roadkill for food. But when it comes to meat quality, how do you know roadkill is OK to eat?

At the end of September, Montana, Fish, Wildlife and Parks had issued 1,747 roadkill salvage permits over the last two years to people all over the state who found an edible deer, moose, elk or antelope.
