Albuquerque in 2006!!

In Colorado, if you run over a cow or sheep on open range, you pay the rancher. If you hit a deer or an elk and survive the experience, you notify the highway patrol to come remove the carcass or you just keep driving after having said the appropriate prayers of gratitude to whichever deity you hold responsible for your sorry existance. I have collided with deer or elk three times now and never reported it. On the Western Slope, if your income is below a certain level, you can sign up to receive all the road kill you can eat, free of charge - if its venison.
