If a person finds a set of horns or antlers, will the department provide a tag or plug so that they can be possessed in another state?
The Arizona Game and Fish Department does not provide a tag or plug to pick up horns or antlers. Currently there is no definition, statute or rule that specifically regulates the pickup and possession of naturally shed antlers or horns. Therefore, these are not considered wildlife, and the pickup and possession is lawful. Also, the removal and possession of wildlife parts collected from the carcass of an animal that has died from a natural event (predation, disease, fights, fence entanglement, old age, accidental falls, drowning, electrocution, etc.) is acceptable under current allowable practices. Unnatural events would be such things as wounding loss, vehicle accidents or illegal take, making the possession of these animals and their parts unlawful. In the case of auto accidents that involve big game animals, ARS 17-319 allows the vehicle driver involved in the accident to possess the carcass of the big game animal providing a salvage permit is obtained. Officers may seize wildlife c
