In a new move by Michigan State Senator Darwin Booher, it appears that Michiganders will find it easier to keep their roadkill. House Bill No. 613 states that persons "MAY POSSESS GAME, OTHER THAN A GAME BIRD, THAT IS EITHER KILLED BY, OR INJURED AND EUTHANIZED 3 FOLLOWING, A COLLISION WITH A MOTOR VEHICLE.
