Sec. 26-86. Deer, moose or black bear killed or wounded by motor vehicle.
Any deer, moose or black bear killed or seriously wounded as the result of a collision
with a motor vehicle may, after inspection of such deer, moose or black bear by the
local police authorities, state police or conservation officer and after issuance of a copy
of a wildlife kill incident report, become the property of the operator of such motor

(1949 Rev., S. 4903; P.A. 83-191, S. 5, 9; P.A. 87-31; P.A. 06-4, S. 1.)
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; P.A. 06-4 added moose and black bear and changed deer kill incident report to wildlife kill incident report.
