Meeting the meat?

I just read an article about an ultra-sustainable meat source: roadkill. This is not a new idea, of course, but the point is made that if you've just hit a deer and you choose to leave it on the side of the road, it's a waste. So you might as well drag it home and cook it...???

I've been vegetarian for 5 years, this month - except for my once-a-year birthday steak from Natural Farms in Tulsa. Since we're moving back there, I've been thinking about eating more meat (more, like once every 2 or 3 months, MAYBE), as long as it's grass-fed and sustainably raised. What this article made me think about was the possibility of eating meat that a friend of my father's, who is an avid hunter, has killed. I don't like the idea of hunting, and I absolutely don't want to do it myself. But if someone's going to do it, and there's leftovers (one caribou creates an awful lot of leftovers!), maybe I should think of it as a sustainably raised food source?

Not sure about the roadkill, but I've never hit a deer or anything edible that I know of, so I don't have to make that decision yet.
