Question about dead heads

[Pooner]

I am living in northern cali for the summer and do a fair share of hiking around. Do any of you guys know what the rules are for picking up dead heads here in cali. I found one but left it lay because I didn't know the regulations.

Go back and get it...its legal...

Unless i found one that was pretty big, i usually don't have any interest other that wondering how it died.

One thing you might not know, in Cali, it's illegal to buy or sell any parts of game animals like deer. This includes their head and rack. You may want to check further as i'm just going off what i've read and been told in the past.

But if i did find a dead head or drops that i liked and wanted, i'd pick it up, go for it!

Ok thanks guys. Ya its a pretty decent buck actually and he died this year. Ya i have picked up quite a few sheds but didn't know if the dead heads were legal or not. I was not worried about anyone finding it though so i figured I would leave it and check. Thanks a ton.

I didn't know that there were any dead heads around now that Jerry Garcia died. But I guess you can pick them up if you want.

If you find a desert sheep skull and take it home you are breaking the law......
