2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 26-86. Deer killed or wounded by motor vehicle.
Sec. 26-86. Deer killed or wounded by motor vehicle. Any deer killed or seriously wounded as the result of a collision with a motor vehicle may, after inspection of
such deer by the local police authorities, state police or conservation officer and after
issuance of a copy of a deer kill incident report, become the property of the operator of
such motor vehicle or any other person if such operator declines possession.
History: P.A. 83-191 deleted requirement that kill be made while vehicle is being "legally operated upon the public highway" and required retention of a copy of a deer kill report for the legal possession of deer taken by a motor vehicle; P.A. 87-31 authorized possession by the operator or any other person where previously possession was limited to the owner of the vehicle.
