Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting normal to leave the head and antlers behind?

Been posted before, nothing but the ivories were taken from this bull. I grabbed the head.

Seems like every state differs on laws concerning dead heads, Trud found this bull, our biologist friend let her keep it as it was a rut mortality (gored in the paunch). If it had a bullet or arrow in it NDOW would have taken it.
