Regardless of legality I don't think it's advisable.

You just have to use a lot of seasoning

More of a food safety concern, really.

Have you tried Cholula?

Google lists that as a historical site in Mexico or a hot sauce. That's all I know.

If you had to guess which I meant what would it be?

No amount of hot sauce would make a rotting raccoon safe to eat. And even if you ran out over yourself, would you trust yourself to judge the safety of wild meat? 'cause I wouldn't.

I didn’t think the conversation would make it this far. Good day sir

If you hit a deer.. you might as well eat it.

If you find a dead hedgehog on the side of the road.. leave it.

Yes, but you'll still want to check for any illnesses. Basically the same any hunter would.
