I don't know about shipping them, but you can't sell any part of a game animal in California.

Can't do it in PA, either. At auctions, they will find something insignificant to "sell" and then give you the mount as a "gift." That's apparently a way around the restrictions.

Hmmm I have no idea. I am in Wisconsin and just listed 8 lots of these a couple weeks ago. There were 6 sets in each lot. I happened to luck out on these. I was driving around on trash night and someone was throwing them away. There were all small ones, but there were a lot of them. I made about $150 on them. Pretty good for a trash find.

us customs has a website,your local post office may know,your local us customs office if you can get thru to them can tell you.
this should be the responsibility of your foreign bidder to find out if it is allowed in their country.

I'm in California and I see lots of horns antlers at flea markets so it must be one of the laws they rarely enforce there.

Hi all,
Here's a link to items that can't be sent to Italy...

Hope it helps.

P.S. There are links at the bottom of the page when you do a calculation of international postage.

Ace...I'm in California too. Enforcement can tend to be sporadic. In Tulare county, if a game warden catches you selling any part of a protected animal ( game animals included ) you will wind up with handcuffs on and jail time in addition to a very hefty fine. OTH I doubt if a DFG employee in San Francisco County even knows what animals are considered game animals as there is very little hunting in that county. (Don't let them catch you on a fishing violation though, they know that part of the code by heart)

That post reminds me of the old joke about the Game Warden and the guy shooting seagulls out by the San Francisco Bay.
One day the Game Warden heard shots being fired in the wetlands around the SF bay and came upon a guy that had shot three seagulls and had them on a string or brace. The warden asked him if he didn't know about it being illegal to shoot seagulls in California. The hunter BS'ed the warden and said he didn't know about the law and he told how he had a hungry family to feed. The warden felt sorry for the guy and let him off with a stern warning to never shoot another seagull. About a week later the warden again heard shots and caught the same guy with several seagulls on a string. The warden arrested the guy and on the way to the slammer the warden's curiosity got the best of him and he asked "what do the seagulls taste like?" The guy replied " They're a cross between a bald eagle and a spotted owl".

My brother in law lives in the mountains East of Fresno where the spotted owl controversy has been rageing for some time and has effectively put a stop to the timber harvest. Some time ago he acquired a box of "Spotted Owl Helper" a la Hamburger helper. I'd love to get that away from him and list it. Spotted owl is quite tasty when barbecued. It's best served at Sierra Club meetings. Of course you gotta tell them it's chicken and hope no one lets the cat out of the bag until they are in the middle of dessert.

I just know I'm getting into a nasty controversy, but the usage
Timber "harvest" is incorrect. The word harvest means something that was grown with the intent to be cut and used. Like corn, apples, hemp. The big timber was never grown by the hand of man. We aren't harvesting it, we're cutting it. And I'm a woodworker, so I have a stake in the cutting, as old growth wood is the best for my work.
I once saw a bumper sticker that said "I'd kill Flipper for a Tuna Sandwich"
At least he knew what the problem is.

Maybe with the primary definition of harvest but there are many variations of the meaning of the word harvest.
To gather (a crop).
To take or kill (fish or deer, for example) for food, sport, or population control.
To extract from a culture or a living or recently deceased body, especially for transplantation: harvested bone marrow.
To gather a crop from.
To receive (the benefits or consequences of an action). See Synonyms at reap.

I admit to being vehement over the rights of trees. I hate the idea that we cut down a tree that has stood for 400 years, and use it to build a house that will stand for 50 years- when the tree could have been there for another 200-400 years. Seems to me seniority would count for something!
Much less the old growth forests in Eurasia that gets turned into toothpicks.
but, of course, here I sit in my wooden house, on my wooden chair, saying this- and I collect fur scraps and animal parts for fun, and profit...
