Call and ask to get a "finders" permit. I think they give those out, don't they?

madmack76 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 11, 2010, 05:56:33 PM »

yea she just showed up with it

ICEMAN · « **Reply #19 on:** April 11, 2010, 06:11:37 PM »

I believe you could do the following.....Hang it high in a tree so no one else takes it, then you can claim it near the end of the season with someones unfilled deer tag. As I recall, you can claim it with a tag during a legal hunting season.

madmack76 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 11, 2010, 06:19:09 PM »

might have to have the wife get a tag next year

bucklucky · « **Reply #21 on:** April 11, 2010, 06:32:24 PM »

Just go back and get it! I know I'm a hard core criminal but I keep all the skulls I find. If they wanna write me a ticket for that while there are people out there poaching then so be it. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. I just hate to see something so cool rot in the ground.

lokidog · « **Reply #24 on:** April 11, 2010, 08:39:31 PM »

Or, "officer, it was one I shot x years ago (a year you reported a buck kill)."

Or, you can send them all to Weathergirl since she has a scientific collection permit for her classroom.

bobcat · « **Reply #25 on:** April 11, 2010, 09:13:02 PM »

Do you have an unused tag from last year?

madmack76 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 11, 2010, 09:17:27 PM »

so if i have an unused tag from last year i can keep it, does it work that way

STIKNSTRINGBOW · « **Reply #27 on:** April 11, 2010, 09:23:23 PM »

I would say not, as you reported not harvesting a deer last year (?)
I know the law states that it is not legal , no matter what method has been suggested, as you did not shoot it yourself, and tagging game shot by someone else is specifically detailed as prohibited....
However, I suspect that if you found it , brought it home, and kept your mouth shut about it, nobody would care...I mean, it is not like you are going to enter it for the book are you ?

madmack76 · « **Reply #28 on:** April 11, 2010, 09:33:53 PM »

no but it would be cool to take it home and show it off to people, like others have said it sucks to just let it rot away was looking for a legal way to keep it and be able to show it to people. know what i mean, i did some quick tape in the field and it was around 120-130 it would be cool to share

bobcat · « **Reply #29 on:** April 11, 2010, 10:22:22 PM »

I have lots of skull plates/antlers from past hunting seasons and no tags to go with them. I'm not sure how this would be different.

Blacktail?

Elkstuffer · « **Reply #31 on:** April 12, 2010, 11:14:35 AM »

When I 1st moved to WA. I found a 5x5 bull. I left it lay and called Olympia when I got home. I asked if I could keep it and she said "If you don't take it someone else will". I went back up the next day and there were snowmobile tracks going right to it and it was gone.

Ever since that day I have never left one in the woods and I've brought home close to two dozen. They are laying all over our landscaping and in my taxidermy studio. I have WDFW coming in and out of my shop 4-5 times a year and not one thing has ever been said.

madmack, go get that dang thing. WDFW has no reason to even come to your house.

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #32 on:** April 12, 2010, 11:42:41 AM »

very hard to do, i don't know how stiff the ticket is for taking them if a guy gets caught. might be a fine or loose your rig i don't know

does anyone know for sure. or if they can take it as far as poaching

boneaddict · « **Reply #33 on:** April 12, 2010, 12:06:24 PM »

I left one lay this year I should have taken. Makes a guy kinda sick. Usually I can get permission but apparantly not for this one.

STIKNSTRINGBOW · « **Reply #34 on:** April 12, 2010, 02:03:37 PM »

Many years ago (when the Sportsman show was in the Coleseum) I found an Elk rack/skull and entered it in the head and horns competition, nobody said anything. I then lent it to a frien with a sporting goods store, and it hung there for years without anybody saying anything.

I still think it is a law, mostly for "fresh" ones people "find", not honest sportsmen finding one of natures treasures....

Decker · « **Reply #35 on:** April 12, 2010, 09:04:19 PM »

Seriously, until you posted this thread I had no idea finding (and taking) winter kill skulls was a big deal. In my circle of friends we usually find around 3/year and proudly bring them back to show off (even if it's a buck skull with dropped antlers.) I have never even heard of a guy getting in trouble for having one. I certainly am not going to leave a trophy skull lay, especially a bear skull, my favorite to find.

boonerboy · « **Reply #36 on:** April 13, 2010, 05:21:27 PM »

if the antlers are still attached then it is "illegal". If I were you i would keep hauling them out and showing them off.

madmack76 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:12:28 PM »

talked to a game warden today he said if its older no ones gonna give ya crap about it might go get it tommorow

bone head · « **Reply #38 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:33:20 PM »

just take an unfilled tag in the past and put it on it and then take it home?

just a thought

madmack76 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:35:28 PM »

got him covered talked to a warden its mine

madmack76 · « **Reply #40 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:39:15 PM »

that and i don't have a unfilled tag for the last 10 years

grundy53 · « **Reply #41 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:42:37 PM »

i wouldn't worry about it. your tag is supposed to stay with the meat. when the meats gone there is no reason to keep the tag. just my
