I shot one years ago that I'm pretty sure was rabid. I called the game warden and told him I suspected it was rabid & could bring it to him for testing. He told me that there hadn't been a case of rabies in my country in many years and he was SURE it wasn't rabies. Reading between the lines he didn't want to mess with it and didn't want it out that there had been a case of rabies in the country because it would make his job harder. I picked it up with a shovel & threw it on a brush pile and burned it.
