This is how we raise them in Lancaster Co PA
#11
I think there are some grey areas. It was found in the woods. It was partially decomposed. You can only assume it was hit by a car. It was not found near the road. My reading of the PA hunting regulations only refers to road kill the best I could tell. I think the hunter probably thought he was being ethical by tagging it. I wouldn't have wasted my tag on it. Especially if it was my only one.
I don't know what a fine would have been, but they did just give him a warning.
I guess the same rules would apply if he stumbled on it in the spring when it was nothing but a sun bleached skeleton.
I'm thinking if it was that important for PA, or Lancaster County to have it, they would not let it go for $120, or $10 a point.
I also think not many people would pay $120 for the head of a dead carcass they didn't shoot. I sure wouldn't.
In the end, it was just a waste.

In my opinion it punishes legal people because of a few illegal people. I can't keep a skull I find, because somebody, somewhere, poaches deer and keeps them.
A buddy of mine shot a nice 8 point on the second to last day of the rifle season this year... It was full of puss on it's shoulder and back. So he called the game comission, because they will re issue tags... They told him they would reissue a tag but he had to surrender the entire deer, head included. Because it was the second to last day, and it was the biggest buck he ever shot, he chose to keep it.

I thought I was trying to decipher the tax code looking for it in the PA hunting regulations.

so do I. there once was a time when folks were punished for what ,THEY DID ,instead of what other MIGHT do.
NOWADAYS WE MUST PASS LAWS protecting ourselves from what we might do .mostly, I think, because we live in a society completely devoid of any morality or ethics and folks can no longer be counted on to know wrong from right . and even if they do, we expect them to PICK , wrong over right.
there is something very wrong ,in the state of denmark!
what a sad and tragic,people we have become.
WHAT A SAD AND TRAGIC ,PEOPLE!

It is also unlawful in PA to sell antlers or any inedible parts of game animals unless it is done within 30 days by the person who legally killed the animal. That rack will make the record book, you can bet your butt a person who found a rack like that would more than likely sell it. PA tries very hard to keep parts of game animals out of commerce and I have absolutely no problem with that. Stop the source of the market and stop the market.

I would ,if it was big enough. I would then clean it up and either euro or shoulder mount it and sell it for 10 times what I paid.

You couldn't do that in PA. This is why I compared it to the tax code earlier:
§ 147.146. Sale of inedible wildlife parts.
(a) Wildlife lawfully taken within this Commonwealth that has been mounted, tanned or completely prepared for study or display in accordance with generally accepted taxidermy procedures may be sold if one of the following conditions is met:
(1) The original owner is deceased.
(2) The original owner’s assets are being liquidated.
(3) The original owner’s specimen is determined to be unclaimed as provided for in subsection (b).
(b) A specimen will be considered unclaimed when the following conditions are met:
(1) The specimen was lawfully possessed when originally deposited with the taxidermist.
(2) The specimen was mounted, tanned or completely prepared for study or display in accordance with generally accepted taxidermy procedures.
(3) The taxidermist has made a reasonable effort to contact the original owner or depositor through any means generally available to inform the owner or depositor that the specimen is complete and should be picked up within a certain time period.
(4) The owner, or the original depositor of the specimen, has been notified by certified, first-class mail and has failed to contact the taxidermist within 30 days of receipt of the notice; or the taxidermist is notified by the postal authorities the certified mail is unclaimed or undeliverable. The specimen will be considered unclaimed after 30 days from the date the taxidermist was notified.
(c) Before selling a specimen, a permit shall be obtained from a Commission officer.
(d) An executed copy of the permit application (PGC-12) shall list the items to be sold. The permit is valid for 120 days.

but acknowledge their (the peoples)right to do so.
I am thankful to ,live in a still, semi-rational state. and thankful that such, for the time being ,still exists.
