so if i shoot a buck or bull, in a 100 gmu, and i want to European it, i have to cape the head, pull out the eyes and some how remove the brain and leave the lower jaw in the woods so i can take the rest of it home. then get it home, i have to submit the wdfw samples. this is a laughing joke, how utterly stupid. if i want to mount it, i need to crop the rack in the field. i bet the wdfw cant wait to write tickets for this, between these rules and baiting, he state has a new source of revenue. the socialist review just had an article last week about people turning in lots of baiting sites.
Hey ya'll
Spoke to 2 different hunters who shot bucks in the 100 GMU units who had NO IDEA about the new laws. This is not a post to be the 'rules police' but rather for advisement because neither of these gentlemen had any idea about the new rules enacted in March of this year. It is in the game regulations.
***ALL deer harvested in the 100 GMUs must be reported and submit a tissue sample for CWD testing with 5 days of harvest- WAC 220-413-100
***All deer, elk, or moose must be skinned out completely to include skin off the face and eyes, brain, and lower jaw removed before leaving the unit- same law as with any elk, moose, deer, or caribou coming in from outside the state. WAC 220-413-030
Taxidermists CANNOT accept game that does not meet these requirements as we can be fined for such activity. Again, posting to help this from occurring as the fines are not slight and I was told by a game warden that animals/trophies can be confiscated if not abided by....
Just saying....
