I like looking at the shed hunting forum as much as the next guy. Something comes up once in a while I thought I would throw out their for some feed back. If you found a skull with a set of elk, deer antlers, or what ever would you pick it up and add it to your collection?
It would be very tempting although I have never had the opportunity to test my judgment yet. The only problem is in Utah it is illegal to do so. If you contacted the DWR they would come out and look at it and probably add it to their own personal collection.
The reason it is illegal is their have been people that poach a big buck and let it lay to rot and come back and retrieve it later and say it was a lion kill, killed during season and never found or what ever.
The question?s are:
What would you do pick it up or leave it?
Do you think the law should be changed if you find a legitimate lion kill so you could retrieve those horns?
Have anyone of you ran into a officer that would let you take them home if you could prove it was a lion kill?
