Wonder if you can keep a dead head you find on your own private property if you dont remove it from the property?

The WAC reads pretty clear on it as well. Its a shame.
This post is exhibit A in the argument against so many dang laws. There are just way too many to keep up with. Everyone here is a criminal... only difference between everyone is some haven't been charged with something yet. I wish I could remember the name of that book I read many years back about the out of control legal system in America. It's insane.
Same as a buck.
I have a huge pile of racks (over 30)that I tagged since 1979 here in washington.My two sons have contrbuted to the pile,too.I have a # of skulls with horns attached sans tags so how could the law prove that I didnt legally put them in the pile? I used to skin out the heads and let them weather on top of one of my sheds in my back yard so they show as a natural rather than a bleached mount.I did cut the skulls of our 2 deer but the racks were small 4x4&3x2.My point is:Don't talk too much about what you harvested,where or whern you did it.I learned that you always come out with game as if you were poaching because there are few wardens that are hunters in this state and an honest mistake.will cost you dearly.

As we all know tags are suppose to stay with the meat, in the freezer. I've got dead heads all around the property stuck in various red ant hills. Whatever enforcement value there used to be with dead heads is gone. I'm sorry Hoythunter doesn't under stand where I'm coming from or thinks I'm just being "cute" or whatever he thinks from his high horse I don't care. Picking up a dead head is illegal in WA but it's done all the time and I could care less, it doesn't help catch poachers. I can almost understand big horn sheep heads but I still think we should be able to pick those up and have them pinned. It's ridiculous.
