Yes that was a whole ordeal. Couldn't get anyone to call me back. My Wildlife officers were evidently on a special project. Finally I emailed and got a call back. They made arrangements with the taxidermist to allow me to drop it off and they had an officer go there to seal it. No one in Olympia would contact me or my regional biologist either. It was frustrating. I hadn't skinned it because I wanted the taxi to do it so I kept in on ice for a couple days. The taxi was concerned about the hide and the officer was concerned about the meat so he called the taxidermist and gave him the okay to take it in. It might have helped that the officer knew me from helping them get a local poached bull elk processed last year.
