Don't ya'll have a set of those? I thought everyone did?
Fletch:
LMAO at the horns...often wish I had a set when all you see is cows running around hahahahahaha...my interpretation is....if you remove the head from the body, you must leave a nut.  Proof of sex attached to the meat some how...a removed head is not attached to the carcass.  so if you pack out the head and horns you still need a nut...if you drag the darn thing out by the horns no nut is needed...

we cut the elk into 4 pieces and pack the whole darn thing out.  I would say the way we cut them the back half is the easiest to pack and the front half is either heavier or just more awkward...either way they are all heavy!!!

I don't interpet the written law that way, but I think that's the way it SHOULD be. And, I believe it's that way in other states. I know for sure it is that way in Oregon. I will leave a nut attached anyway just because it's so easy to do, there's no reason not to do so. I have never packed an elk out without first removing the head, and deer I don't bring them out with the head attached much anymore either. Getting lazy (and smarter I guess) in my old age.  ;)
Curly:
Bob, what do you mean......you don't interpet the law that way?  The wording from the WAC that you posted on the 19th seems fairly clear.  I thought you changed you view of the rule after reading Provider's post and then reading the WAC? :dunno:
