Roadkill for food? One state now has an app for that

Folks looking for roadkill to put some extra protein on their table are getting some technological help in Wyoming in the form of a recently released app that makes it easier to claim roadside carcasses. 

The state's newly enacted system replaces one that had required a game warden to provide a tag before a resident could claim wild game roadkill. Now residents can instead use an app to forage for food on non-interstate roads. 

People can use their Android and Apple devices to get permission to salvage deer, elk, antelope, moose, wild bison or wild turkey after unintentional vehicle collisions with wildlife, state officials announced in February. But first they have to document the animal and review the rules, with grizzly bears, some grey wolves and endangered species off limits.
