Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Shed hunting laws.

The best way to collect them on private land if feeding is legal in your area is either build a shed trap or keep feeding till antlers drop inside a fenced enclosure and pick them up as they fall off jumping the fence. I can't count the number of sheds I've found in cattle exclosures around feeders.

The laws that are in place usually have to do with keeping the deer and elk from expending energy (running away from people) when they can afford it the least. It realy doesn't apply in areas that have mild winters.

That's be one law I'd have to ignore.

Arizona G&F
State law requires an individual to have evidence of legality when possessing or transporting wildlife carcasses or their parts. A hunting license and/or big game tag meets this requirement for wildlife lawfully taken during hunting season. However, if an individual in the field finds dead wildlife, or any part of an animal he or she did not legally take during the hunt, then that individual may not automatically possess and /or transport any of it. An exception is that there are no restrictions on the possession of naturally shed of cast antlers.
If an individual wishes to keep such wildlife parts found in the field (other than shed antlers), he/she must contact the Arizona Game and Fish Department so an officer can determine the cause of death of the animal. If it is determined the animal died from a natural cause, such as predation, disease, fights, falls, drowning, lightning, etc., the wildlife part may be possessed by the individual. If the officer determines the animal died from an unnatural cause, such as wounding loss, illegal activity or vehicle collision, no part of the wildlife may be possessed or transported.
If the cause of death cannot be determined and the wildlife part is fresh, meaning bone or tissue moisture is present and the part is not oxidized, possession will not be allowed. This also applies to parts, such as skulls, where the age cannot be determined because the finder has boiled and/or cleaned them. If the cause of death cannot be determined and the part is old (with no moisture and oxidized), possession will be allowed.
Just remember, the key is to contact the Arizona Game and Fish Department prior to picking up the part. There is no way these parts may be lawfully possessed until the department has determined the cause of death.

Exactly.

No picking off of ODFW feed sights. Those sheds are property of Oregon I guess.....
