Was bored at work discussing misc things with a co-worker and we got to talking about shed hunting and finding a complete skull with antlers still attached. According to at least Utah law it would be illegal to take them, or have them in your possession as you can only take naturally dropped antlers with the rounded pedicule.
This implies if you do have antlers attached to the skulls at your home, they came from animals harvested / tagged with a legal license. Which then brings up an interesting question.
Question is this: If say you were hunting and you found a previously dead antlered deer skull, could you legally tag the head with your hunting permit and take it home? Or is there some restriction on even this?
As I said we were just shooting the crap over lunch and to be honest, I'm not sure. If forced to answer I'd say "I'd guess it would be legal" but to be truthful, I havent really thought about it before.
Anyone know / have opinion?
