RE: Found in PA
I agree, I am only saying what the law is. Dont want to see someone get in trouble for such split hairs. I had a run in with the PGC on this issue and they walked off with buckets of bones and skulls I had from found dead deer. I had a warning and told next time I would be prosecuted.Aint rying to be a jerk.

very impressive deer. cardeer is correct though, it is illegal to take from the woods. and he is correct, there are eyes watching. i heard of guys being prosecuted by posting things jussssssst like that on other forums. theres a huntingpa forum and theres a good number or WCOs that visit. i dont care that you take them as long as you aint out there killing them and claiming it as a "find" which is why that law is in place. just gota watch what you post on the internet these days. sad but thats reality.
on a side note, are we supposed to KEEP the tags from our harvests as PROOF that they were legally taken and tagged?? just kinda curious....maybe ill post that on that forum for the WCOs to answer....

If you found that in PA you must pay the game commision to recover those set of antlers....unless they consider those a shed........who knows.[8D] But it is a nice deer. A friend of mine lives out there. I will forward this on to him. thanks for sharing.

RE: Found in PA
Laws have changed according to the last commissioner I talked to...it'd be good to know the current reading tho. I'd have no problem picking up an old skull like that and unless the PGC'er was being a power hungry Barney Fife, I doubt they'd care either.
In Cardeer's case, when was that old friend?

I Know tha the fee went up from 50 to $75.00 for a salvage permit. I had a road kill doe with fawn and if I wanted the fawn I had to pay $75.00 for the permit but they had noproblem with the doe. SO of course 75 dollars later i was able to keep the fawm. I will post a pic of the mount. It was freeze dried and thne placed ina acool habitat. for the PGC it is all about the benjamins.
