Good News. SB 395

[Dawnandusk]

Senate Bill 395 authorizes the creation of a pilot program in California, wherein the state will designate, no later than Jan. 1, 2022, up to three regions “having high wildlife vehicle collisions” as being valid locations where drivers may salvage the meat of certain animals killed as a result of collision.

"Certain animals" being Deer, Elk, Pronghorn, and Wild Pig.

"2000.6.
(a) (1) Consistent with Section 91.8 of the Streets and Highways Code, the commission may establish a pilot program for the issuance of wildlife salvage permits through a user-friendly and cell-phone-friendly web-based portal to persons desiring to recover, possess, use, or transport, for purposes of salvaging wild game meat for human consumption of, any deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, or wild pig that has been accidentally killed as a result of a vehicle collision on a roadway within California. This permitting process shall be available at no cost to the public."

I like the emphasis on a cell phone based portal, and the no cost portion.

I wonder what “regions” will be chosen.
Hopefully San Diego will make the list.

I'm guessing NorCal... and knowing CA they'll probably make you take an 8 hour "Harvest Meat Safely" class to get a permit.

Hmmm... does it have to be dead for this law to apply? Asking for a close friend.... Ed F

If an endangered bobcat is already munching on it can you still take it?
