I do not know the rules in MT but I am pretty sure in Washington you cannot take any antlers attached to a scull. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Still a cool find and I would be tempted to take it home!

Defenitely illegal in Wash. and don't feel bad most guys don't know about it either. My brother found a bull last fall and we had to turn it in to fish and game after someone saw the pics of it with my bull on the net, you can read my story on the fiasco on the elk forum a few months ago. I understand why they have the law for the scumbag poachers who kill animals and leave them till spring but there should be a way for a legit winterkill to be kept like in N Mexico. nwhunter

I agree, NM has it down.  Course their game department is a bit better organized than ours.

who cares F*&^% the police. nice find. Same type of thing why they enforce picking up roadkill. I have heard that people have shot bulls and left them in a tree and picked them up in the spring. When said person did not have a tag.

There was a man at the Big Horn Show in Spokane that didn't know either.  He entered a deer skull with antlers to be scored.  He said it was a cougar kill he found  and it did have holes in the snout area that looked like teeth. 
It never changes, but it is always different.

Some people just read a portion of the topic and just make responses or feel the need. I have been guilty from time to time but I try not to. I know what you mean though. It's not like you didn't read it the first 2 times.  :dunno:

Some of it is comraderie and they don't want a fellow member to incriminate himself on here.   The game boys are watching.  For instance...when Polarbear pulled his April Fools joke, I got about 20 pms or emails alerting me to it as they were afraid he was going to get busted.  Serious concern.  I was pretty darn sure he was April Fooling, so let them know that.  Then alot of them went :DOH:  He got me.  It was of serious concern for him.  Point is, its easy to break a game law, and we sort of like to educate, or don't want folks to get into trouble.  Then there are those are are just pains in the butts.  Rightfully so, its hard to walk away from a nice elk skull out there later to have some guy who doesn't know the rule book, walk home with it and be proud as hell, escaping all justice.  I have to admit, I find that a bit frustrating.

Fish Hawk= game warden. Sometimes i guess i get fed up with the fact that everyone is so quick to throw someone under the bus to benefit themselves. I here it all the time that someone is so proud to win 10 points but not proud of the fact that they helped stop someone who is killing game unlawfully or as i like to say killing it with out need. I am starting to get off topic but that is how i feel. My hunting partner is a walking game book also and sometimes it gets on my nerves. I know lots of people who go out of there way to break the rules but it is not my place to police them. Anyway that is a great find legal or not.

yeah it is legal in mt,, but your right, bone, about the sheep. not even alowwed to touch them.  i had no idea that you couldnt keep winter kills in wa....bs if you ask me.

 I feel this is why people bring out the rule book on this forum,to educate a fellow hunter that might not know the rules so he or she does not get busted out in the  field! We all have been educated from this site and from post like this.

Good find MountainW. I apologize for bringing up the law and raining on your parade. Its hard to walk away from a set of horns no matter what state they are in if you love horns and I don't care what people do I just want guys to know the rules , especially this one, because a lot of people don't. nwhunter
