Then the majority of hunters using a butcher should be charged as most butchers will not allow a hide anywhere near their shop.Quote:

A butcher does NOT 'require' your outdoor card information..your drivers license will do just fine for positive ID.
No problem transporting a skinned deer, just make sure the head is attached. Cut it off when you get to the butchers....we found out the hard way....Quote:

Unless your buddy discarded the hide and head, I'm surprised he didn't claim the deer is simply divided. A perfectly legit example is, one person is taking the head and hide to taxidermy and the other person is taking the rest to the butcher. It's a divided deer and a exemption to the rule.Quote:

Keep in mind, you’re reading a Summary. The actual reg., says nothing about keeping the head separately. I posted the actual reg. I also know a member of our camp got whacked for not having the head attached......as always, it depends on the COs interpretation....Quote:

Exactly what I said, once it’s at the butcher, tagging requirements don’t apply ...Quote:
