I always keep a harvest kit in the truck so when I find tying material laying on the road I can stop and shop!!!!:):) (plastic bags and gloves)

Hope you kept the tail feathers and wings - on the wings some really tradeable feathers are the ones that look like this

The guys use them for wet fly wings - you'd need to match them up, same feather from each side so they'll make matched wings.

All I can say Is Ya'all are Brothers of the blood . Wife wants to wear a paper bag with eye holes in it . so nobody recognizes her when I stop on public roads to snatch body parts .

C'mon toad they complain if we buy too much. And then they get embarrassed when we try and get it free, we just can't win LOL

What can you do with an armadillo ??? At one time we had a pile of them .. Coyote moved in and they are now (thankfuly) in short supply (both are illegal imigrants in the area) ...... Road Kill Possum ?

You know this list could go on ... so I will shut up ...

I was at the Furrier last night to pick up some Bucktails, and he had just about any fur there I could think of. I also got 2 skunk pelts....which are in the shed to keep the other 1/2 happy. They really just smell musky, not like skunk. He was skinning some Mink when I was there, I think I would RATHER smell the skunk!
Nice black skunk tails to use. $4 for the whole pelt.

On rides to the beach, I have stopped at a roadkill to grab the tail, only to see I was not fast enough, already gone lol.

"JSC, it sounds like you are shopping in the food department LOL...."

I have seen a few cans of "Road Kill Possum" so some one has to be scraping them off the road ...
