    I don't see why you can't keep these. I think it is the same in my state but never understood the issue with taking them home?

    That's pretty bad. A boone and crockett new world record, "legally", must be left or destroyed. Wow that will piss some people and organizations off.

    For that I'm sure they would make up some new law/exception but still not let the hunter keep it

    Looks like to me the hunters and sportsmen loose more and more rights every year.. If every hunter took one year off and not buy and kind of tag that might change some things? stuff like this just kills me!!

    I'd pick it up and take it home. They can suck it.

    If it's on my property I'm keeping it. Now if it was on public land...maybe a different story...still I've never heard of a dnr not issuing a carcass tag...what purpose does it serve to not let someone keep it?

    I would try to rememeber who you got ahold of that told you they dont issue tags out anymore and at least let your warden know what they said. To me it seems like it was just someone being lazy and not wanting to do their job considering the warden did in fact get you a tag after all. On another note it would have came home with me no questions asked.
