NevadaNevada allows collecting dry wildlife remains without tags for noncommercial use
Nevada law allows people to collect certain wildlife remains without a tag for noncommercial purposes, provided they are exposed, dry bone produced by natural processes.
What it does
People may collect shed antlers, skulls, heads, and other wildlife bones without a required tag for noncommercial purposes. The remains must be exposed, dry bone produced by natural processes.
Argument forPeople collecting eligible wildlife remains for personal use could avoid obtaining a wildlife tag just to keep their finds.
Argument againstCollectors hoping to sell their finds could miss out on this tag exception, which applies only to noncommercial collection.
More detail
People may collect eligible wildlife remains without obtaining the tag normally required for that species. The permission covers shed antlers, skulls or heads with or without antlers or horns attached, and bones from wildlife species that require a tag. Collection must be for noncommercial purposes, rather than for sale or business use. The remains must be exposed, dry bone resulting from natural processes, such as scavenging, decomposition, or weathering.
