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.

might have to have the wife get a tag next year

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.

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.

Do you have an unused tag from last year?   

[madmack76]

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

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

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]

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

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.
