Picking up head/horns in Idaho
« on: April 03, 2014, 05:42:36 PM »
If a person finds a Bighorn sheep or moose dead from what appears to be natural causes or say a cougar kill in Idaho, is it legal to take the head/horns? I know in Washington you can't even look at them it seems, but wondering about the law in Idaho?

I was hunting in idaho a few years ago and came across two guys dragging out a big mulie they just shot and had a 48" bull moose head in the back of their truck that they had just picked up. Looked like it had been dead a couple years.

.    I've seen dead heads in the back of trucks in Washington , doesn't mean its legal . I would get ahold of Idaho that way you know for sure.

Recovery, Possession and Sale of Bighorn Sheep Horns: Horns from bighorn sheep that have died of natural causes may be recovered and possessed. All bighorn sheep horns must be presented to Fish and Game for marking with a permanent pin within 30 days of recovery. It is unlawful to sell, barter or purchase bighorn sheep horns obtained under these circumstances, or to transfer ownership of recovered bighorn sheep horns without a permit from Idaho Fish and Game.
