Middle ground here - have a license requirement for the sales but the guy collecting a few for his own use is good to go.

:yeah:
They are technically running a business and I personally think it should be treated as such. The amount of lawlessness (trespassing, wildlife harassment, assault and intimidation) that goes on with some areas that I used to shed hunt has gotten exponentially worse since it essentially became big business.
These guys that are out there intentionally "jumping" the deer herds and stressing out the animals just to get them to drop their sheds. I about got into a very serious situation once when a guy kept pushing this 170's 4 point. The buck had its tongue hanging out and laboring and the damn guy wouldn't leave it alone.

Just wondering how a $100 license is going to lessen the pressure on the animals or insanity of the commercial guys...
