Is it ok to pick up a roadkill pheasant to take home to eat if I see one in the road. How can you tell if it is safe to consume. What needs to be done to prepare it if it is ok Ie gutting etc?

If it's "roadkill pheasant" I doubt that there is much undamaged meat to even consume. That being said, if you're the car that killed it, it would be fine, otherwise I wouldn't try it as you don't know how long it's been there.
