I emailed KDWP off thier web site. This is the reply that I got back. Thought you might be interested. This surprises me!!!
Yes, you would have to havea deer salvaged tagged to possess a deer that you find dead in the woods in order to keep the rack.Even deer found deadtangled in a fence would be required to be salvaged tagged. Shed antlers do not require a tag.You should also be able to provide a tag for a mounted deer head. This is to provide a paper trail on how the deer was legally acquired in case there is a question.
