Oregon Dead Animal Guides
The questions Oregon's agencies answer in pieces, put together from ODOT's carcass programme, ORS chapter 601, ODFW's salvage and disease pages, and each city's own wording. Each guide lists its sources beside the claims they support and the date they were opened.

Open the guide βIf it is your ground, not the county's
