bobcat, maybe I misunderstood you? I thought you said that if you have "the head with the antlers attached, you are ok. That's all you need." I assumed you meant the cut-off head, but the antlers still attached to the skull? And that wouldn't be ok, unless the nuts were still attached.

Maybe I misunderstood "rackattack" too? He said, "head and antlers has never been a problem", even after removing the twig and berries. I thought both of you were suggesting if you remove the nuts, and cut-off the head but leave the antlers attached... it is ok? I apologize if I misunderstood.

Curly:
Thanks for clarifying, Provider. I think there was some misunderstanding going on there, but I'm not sure you were the on misunderstanding.............. :dunno:.

What you were warning people about is if you cut the head off, you better have a nut sack left on the animal.

But if you bring the animal out whole or cut in half, you can get away with just having the head and get rid of the twig and berries.

Nope, I guess you understood me correctly. We have a different interpretation of the law. The way the law is written, I take it to mean you can either have the head with antlers attached, OR if you don't have the head then you need "penis or testes naturally attached to at least one quarter of the carcass or to the largest portion of meat."

Dick Cress:
Depends on whether my four partners are close by or not. We use the gutless boning out method. If I'm alone, I'll bone out then my first and second loads are the hind quarters. Then whatever it takes for the fore quarters and misclleanous meat, hide with sex identifier attached last.

boneaddict:
Basically I think the gist of the law is to keep some *censored* from running around with a set of spike antlers, shooting cows and claiming they belong to the antlers back at the truck. Though a pain in the ass, it seem pretty reasonable to me.
