for what it is worth and i am sure most of you know this.
I have pick up a skull with horns or two over the years. So for a reason a game warden comes to visit me and sees a couple of skulls laying in the corner with horns and none were of any size, no tags and I told him I found them (and yes I did).
So i get the lecture that it is not legal to pick up a skull until the warden comes and looks and gives the okay with his tag. Then he proceeds to tell me what the fine is and what he can do to me so do not do it again. And I thank him for the information as I did not know this.
Okay I get it but picking up a small three point skull cost me one time $600 by the federal game and fish before he was done. And yes it was a skull and part of the backbone laying on the ground and I have no ideal what happen to that deer. But stupid me I did pick it up and yes it was $600.
Now it just so happens I was driving done the road in good old Canada when I seen it in the ditch so a little different deal. And they also gave me the lecture, said I was low life, lier and I took it like a whip dog and said nothing back (well sort of until after I paid the $600). Then as I protested at their office they try to kick me off the property and said in was private. Yes it is private but once you rented it, it became public. City cop came and thought my protest sign was well written.
All part of that memory bank one needs to fill up in ones life time. db
