If you strike a deer and kill it, Ohio law requires you to

Correct answer

  • report the collision or let the meat go.
  • ignore the accident and continue on your way.
  • stop at the accident scene.

Explanation

In Ohio, you are not required to file a traffic accident report with law enforcement unless an uninsured driver was involved, your insurer requires you to do so, or the local jurisdiction where the accident took place requires you to do so. However, if you hit a deer and cause its death, you may take possession of the deer carcass only if you report the collision to a game protector or other law enforcement officer within 24 hours. He or she will give you a certificate of legal ownership. Then all that venison meat will be legally yours to enjoy.
