*** I doubt that there are any jurisdictions that you can come up with where you can possess an intact head like that without having your legal hunting tag on it or getting a tag from the jurisdiction that handles road kills, etc., whether it's the County Sheriff or a Game Warden. There aremany jurisdictions where you're not even supposed to take one from the field if you find it BEFORE you get authorization. If it's as good and important as one is to believe, I would have had a call into authorities and got the proper answer well before I started asking out on the internet for cripes sakes!!! I put the actual statute up right out of the regulations in my other post and it is very specific as to how to handle a head with attached antlers.
