Lots of times the game wardens will take the heads, just to keep folks from getting tempted to take em for horns and ivorys- Quick way to get a CWD sample if it's fresh. Unless it's in front of someones yard- we don't haul the carcasses off. I wouldn't suspect a (headhunter)poacher this time of year-but you should call your local guy.

?I want as game protectors men of courage, resolution, and hardihood, who can handle the rifle, ax, and paddle; who can camp out in summer or winter; who can go on snowshoes if necessary; who can go through the woods by day or night without regard to trails" Theodore Roosevelt-1899
