Kinda nice Blacktail dead head I picked up this year

[Mfowl]

I wonder the reasoning for not being able to pick a dead head and keeping ...

So people aren't inclined to poach a buck, then comeback for the head/antlers later and claim it was a deadhead.

Jakeland -   I agree, a silly rule, but it makes life easy for enforcement officers (OK..........., we both know there are no enforcement officers except on Weyco lands, but the State claims there is, and that is what is important!) to match tags with bones.   It's an easy way to rule out poaching during investigations if you don't allow the retention of dead heads. Thhhhpppp!  A big raspberry for my friends in Olympia.  KMA!

Yep, you learned internet police are waiting at every corner for the chance to rat you out or tell you what you did wrong.  Cool find, I bet.  Wouldn't blame you for never posting a pic of it.

That's BS, I see nothing wrong with letting someone know about a law they clearly didn't know about.

Oh yeah, your first reply clearly did that.  What was I thinking.  Later

So are you saying it's a bad thing to warn another hunter that something he's done (and posted on the WWW) is against the law or that we should just ignore the law? Is there another option I hadn't considered? Yours is an interesting perspective.

Well I learned something today, guess I will have to deposit it back where I found it.  Luckily it is only a few blocks from my house.

Any day I learn something new is a good day, JD.

No, for the record I totally agree advising folks about the law.  What annoys me to no end is the passive aggressive comments alluding that someone is breaking a law without simply stating it.  Lots of fly over comments all over this forum, to each their own I suppose.  I'm off to Idaho, with any luck I'll find a dead head and post it up!

I posted a dead head shed I found once on here. Guys were saying nice Idaho find. Then some cool guy said "nuff said". It just happened to be a 10a Idaho shed. People love jumping to conclusions and posting fly over comments

I just learned a little bit more about the baiting rules on the game camera theft thread.  Lot's of great information on here if you are paying attention.

Would the new salvage law allow for picking up year old road kill?

 The law requires you to turn in the horns of a salvaged deer or elk.

I didn't know that, thanks.

Where did you read that? I've seen nothing about turning in the antlers.

Look up WAC 232-12-287

No it doesn't, the whole animal is yours.

Not the point and you know it, Kurt. The guy posted he'd picked up a head. No one ragged on him for it. They just informed him, because he obviously didn't know, that you can't do that here in WA. That's a good thing. Information is power.
