If a person found something like that can you keep it or is it illegal.

Depends on the state.  Washington..NO.

Wow...great picture but like u said cool but sad what a waste

[JohnVH]

why couldnt you keep that?

If a tree falls in the woods and noone is there to hear it....    Cool find!

We have a salvage permit for our school so things like this can be picked up and kept.  Anyone finds anything cool, that is not an endangered species, feel free to contact me.

JohnVH, I think the rule is to keep someone from poaching an animal and then coming by later to claim they just "found" it.

That's a once in a lifetime picture right there thanks for sharing.  my mom works at northwest trek and she said that they had that happen to a bull there.

Washington State allows only sheds to be retained, unless as mentioned you have some sort of permit otherwise stating.

This picture looks really similar to a picture that was going around the Internet a few years ago.

THat would be a sweet display to have at Cabelas or any other outdoor store!!

That picture has been around for a month or so or at least it was sent to my phone.  I think it has been around for while

A few years back bugle magazine did a whole photo essay on the subject I think they titled it when trees fight back.

 Yeah, a poacher would have had to have incredible  timing to fell that tree to get that result.
