Yeah... why not. Can I suggest stuffing it with a swan and cooking it on a pile of antihunt protesters?

I wouldn't do that if it was roadkill chances are that it developed an infection.
But I met a couple of cajuns that explained to me that Badgers good eatin boy. Use it in a dish and let us know what happened

yes, this became allowed when Pres. Bush signed the Varmit act of 2005, In short it states whenever a animal is deceased on your property you are allowed to eat it without a hunting license. This law was opposed by Wal Mart and the grocers assoc. as they want you to buy your food at their stores.

mmmm road kill! I suppose if your that hungry you should skin it, chop it up, marinade, so you got spicy badger and cook it on the BBQ. Enjoy your meal. I don't think you should worry about the legality of it.

probably no longer, they have a properly hardship-free acceptance to be carriers of Tuberculosis. i have heard of different wild animals being eaten. Rabbit is tremendous to devour, flavor equivalent to hen. decrease back round WW2 even as meat changed into scarce, human beings contained in the country area used to make Rook pies

Yes if it was dead before you find it
Beware of all the very nasty things it may contain - cook to a high temperature
And don't "pester" me again

Only eat road kill you deceased, and even then cook well. cuz little furry bunnies can carry parasites during certain months of the year, and wild piggies and bear also carry parasites.
internal parasites are no fun

Badgers carry many parasites and TB (tuberculosis). If you found it, you have no idea how long it's been dead. I wouldn't if I were you.
- monkeyfaceLv 71 decade ago
I am not sure if it is illegal but it is certainly ill-advised.
Badgers are infested with fleas & who knows what else.
Also, how long has it been dead for?
You are a weird little man, aren't you?

If you are serious, you need to check with your local laws. This kind of thing varies state to state.

lol i can't believe you put this under ethnic cuisine! honestly, i wouldn't eat it. you have no idea for sure what caused it's death. it could've been sick, before it got run over. there are so many other things you can prepare for din-din, i'd let that one go.
