It would be helpful if the states could come up with a uniform set of regulations. Note that I said STATES, not federal. We sure don't need the feds messing with it.
Rockchuck, trying to imagine ALL states agreeing on
anything...It sure would be nice though.
Just make sure you tie them down good when carrying them on the outside of a vehicle or trailer. In the 90's on the way home from Idaho, we saw a set of elk antlers from a really big bull laying on the shoulder of I-80 in Ohio. Can't imagine explaining to everyone they called home and told about the kill, and no antlers.
Add plenty of paracord to the packing list, add "making antlers well secured" to checklist for travel. (Not a bad idea to check around your vehicle when packing up - we once found a nice pair of hunting boots left on a retaining wall at a motel. "Oops, what happened to my boots?" And a few useful items hanging in trees around camping spots.)
Best of luck on the hunt, hope you get one too big to fit inside anything.
