Not to be mean, but that would be one bad ass mount

Just the response you would get from folks, but Greg you are doing the right thing.
x2....but illegal. Can't mount one without a permit, and they usually only give those for instances where it will be put on display in a museum or school or something.
Awesome animals though, I love owls.
I'd call the DNR and see what they say to do with it.
