I'm sure you left it lay

So what do you guys think is this a young deer with good genes or an old deer on his way down. Its one of the biggest 2pts I've ever seen.
Question for all you more experienced hunters. Why would picking up the skull and taking it home have been illegal? I've always read the regs to say that it is legal to pick up antlers that have been naturally shed. In this case it just appears to me that the deer shed the skull with the antlers. That isn't necessarly what is meant in the regs but I don't recall it being expressly banned either. Granted I could see it being illegal if you come across an obviously shot deer or road kill but a totally clean skull with no carcase? Just never heard that would be illegal. Can anybody point me to the WAC or RCW or Game regs where it says you have to leave a skull lay where you find it. What about other bones? I found a coyot chewed deer scapula this season and looked around for the rest and found nothing. If I had found it could I have been ticketed for picking a piece of clean bone up and carrying it out? Sorry if this is a highjack. It was a nice looking 2 point. Good mass.
how long did it take you to clean that one up d-rok? i just cleaned up a buddy of mines thats been outside since general rifle season...still has hide and meat and lots of maggots!
