some of the carcasses were in the middle of the road but most (the deer) were on the side of the road. Does that mean they got hit just as they were entering the road or did they get hit at such high velocity, (75 mph) their bodies were tossed to the side of the road? I also want to know why IDOT doesn't get rid of the carcasses. I don't know why I need to know, but I NEED TO KNOW! Can somebody field this question with a less than idiotic answer?

I think it's the responsibility of the town you're traveling through to get rid of roadkill. Where they were located could mean one of a few things. As you mentioned, they could have just been entering the road, or they could have been thrown to the kerb by whatever hit them. Another possibility is that the people in the vehicle that struck them, or one that passed by later on, got out and dragged the carcass to the side so that it wouldn't be struck by other cars. If something looks to be a serious hazard, or the animal appears to be alive still, your best bet is to ring up the local police and ask for their assistance.

If you saw a deer laying in the road, someone has a wrecked car. You don`t hit 150# without severe damage to your car. As far as the carcass, call the highway patrol. They can notify the ones who pick up.

Isn't it weird how deer usually end up off the road after they are hit by a vehicle? But smaller animals end up dead right in their tracks.
I said this to one of my kids last summer and wouldn't you know it? A week later I almost ran over a deer that was dead in the middle of the road.
What's really gross is when IDOT doesn't pick them up in the summer and they get all bloated and then explode. That is JUST NASTY!

Even if they didn't get flung to the side of the road due to a high speed impact, somebody at some point will have stopped to drag it to the side of the road to prevent any accidents.
Done it myself.
Have you seen the mess of a car a deer can make?

Deer season this happens in rural areas I learned this moving to Missouri from CA anyhoots the deer run
across and even if the driver is not speeding this happens
and not many people have the strength to lift a dead deer
and I would not touch it, it could have ticks etc...and
I could not pick one up.....call the country road people
Also if you are driving a nice car or just your car would
you want a bloody dead smelly deer in it? just giving you
some ideas....

Not sure what happened to those deer, but an overpopulation ends up that way.
