A few years ago a friend was archery hunting elk in the Blue Mt's. He had a game biologist with him or had met him in the woods. My friend found a large dead bull that looked like it died from injury in a fight. This bull was 360 plus class bull. The biologist could not give him permission to bring the head out. They cell phoned a agent who gave them permission to bring the head out, but said it belongs to the state. Since my friend works for DNR he got permission to hang the head in a DNR office. The horns are never to leave the office and remain state property.
Just to stir the pot a little.Now Bone has one on this post that he got in Idaho, which someone else said was legal and the gamie said he could keep.(no problem)Huntingphool has one he got in montana that the gamie said he could keep due to it's condition. (no problem)Bone also said a person (lady) was able to pickup and retain a sheep skull after letting the gamies know about it and they gave her the ok.So has anyone on here ever gotten premission from a gamie in this state to pickup and retain a skull? If so how would they make the decision to go outside the law and say it is ok? What parameters do they use? The laws states only naturally shed with no mention of or if it is this old or obviuosly old and weathered/white?Also what if you own property and the animal dies on said property over the winter, do you just let it lie or is it then yours because of were it perished?
