What is the time limit to eat a found dead animal and not be punished?

I'd like to know who the hell would come across a dead animal somewhere and say "that looks mighty tasty!"

I have heard about people eating roadkill --- not dead animals found by the road, but a deer they hit with their car.
Simplesally, in Northern Ontario, it used to be law, that if anyone hit a deer, the native Indians from the local reserve had first dibs on the animal....I'm not sure if it still stands, but they can have it. I don't like bruised meat, thanx.

I got permission from a game warden to keep an animal that had been hit by a truck but was still alive when I came across it. I killed it and was going to eat it but the meat was terribly bruised. I tried eating some that didnt seem to be bruised but it still had an off taste. I ended up feeding it to the dogs.
