How about your VW in a salvage yard. Parking lot is fine if you can see scrapped cars in the pic. Bonus points if you can get it inside the yard next to a stack of scrapped cars.

Don’t get me wrong I do like venison but it looked like it was there a while.

Ya! It needs to be a FRESH hit. Like still kicking fresh! The problem in my part of the world is that if you get caught they charge you with poaching. Oh ya, you can phone in and get permission but by the time you jump through all the hoops and wait around for the police or wildlife officer to come and verify it, it's too late and the meat is spoilt already.
In the Yukon they have a system where you put your name on a waiting list. When someone reports an animal hit they start phoning and the first to respond gets the meat.

The one I did hit a guy passing in the other direction stopped, not to help or anything but to ask if he could have the deer.

The ratio of wildlife killed on the road to those taken by hunters here is likely somewhere in the 20/1 range.

Figured most of the northern hemisphere is in summer by now and most of the easy things have been done. But if you guys think I need to come up with something more achievable let me know.

No it is not! I have just been busy, I was at a fellow's yard two days ago that would have easily qualified as he was once again selling me parts from his vast collection of dead VWs but I was driving the Dodge 3500 at the time.
I will see what I can do today.
