    I don't think this has changed. It is in the current regs.

    IT’S UNLAWFUL

    1. To be in possession of a big game animal without a properly cancelled species licence or otherwise by licence, permit, or a provided by regulation. Any person who kills any big game species must immediately after the kill and before handling the big game killed, cancel the appropriate species licence in accordance with the instructions on that licence.

    Road kill is different in that you to get a permit. You have to call FLNRO and make an appointment. I know biologists who have done it but in my experience good luck getting someone to answer phone.

    This is the government site covering roadkill

    Maybe. I am not sure, I suspect the COs used to be the ones to do the inspection. I know that a CO used to be able to authorize you to take it home and freeze until you could contact the FLNRO office as long as you contacted them first; you has better not touch anything without permission. My guess is they can't do this anymore.

    Looking at the site it pretty clear have to call the FLRNO office and make an appointment; they are a government office open Monday to Friday with standard working hours. Not getting permission overnight or weekend.

    Just recently saw a story from a guy that got a permit to keep the meat from a cow moose that had been hit by a car. Called in to the CO’s office and was emailed a permit to keep it.

    Yes but only certain animals apply, and can only be used for bait for trapping, among a few other rules.
