In Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and other states you can keep any animal you hit on the road, if you want to. Of course, you have to tell the police so that records can be kept, but then again, if you hit a deer or moose or some such you'll want to file a report on your wrecked car anyway.

Back in his day of Flaming Catholicism, my very own brother left for his 2 a.m. stint of "Perpetual Adoration" and ran right smack into a herd of hogs being loaded into a dark truck. It was legal -- they weren't hog rustlers -- but dumb. My bro's car was wrecked, and of course we told him that we could still smell the pig sh*t on him months later ("Whoa! Stand downwind, would ya?").
