OR they have to BUY them from the game commission head is "X" dollars, and then they charge by the tine if you want the antlers(bears are the same way in PA only cost more $$ than deer do), and well MOST times wardens will pick up, to prevent people from doing so)

funny(and sorry this will offend you OT, don;t mean to just is what it is)

but since in PA< NO one seems to want to have the JOB of removing dead deer(Game commission USED to have it, even used to save hides and sell them, and had ROAD KILL PITS on game lands)
but dead deer are NO longer picked up by GC, and DOT claims NOT there job either

BUT as soon s a person WANTS IT< suddenly the GAME commission , values it, needs to get PAID!

where if NO one wants it , it can just rot away on the side of the road!!
seems like a MONEY making game to me anymore!
not there job to remove it, but need to get paid if someone wants it be it for the head or the meat, either way SOMEONE is removing it , should just be free, there DEAD
I'd rather see them get used, than be rotting away on road ways!
I'm all good with NEEDING a permit to take it, but STOP charging for the hide and head and tines!
just be happy someone is removing and making good use out of it!

seems to me like deer don;'t have any VALUE till someone wants them to the PA GC! then they NEED to get paid!
other wise it can just rot away!
its not the DOT's job to remove or the GC 's job! officially,
SO?

just be glad someone wants it and will remove it for FREE!
