       You&#39;re right, David. In fact, many people collect mortalities fo=

          Hi All, especially Randy and Lance,
         </div>=20
         <div>
          &#160; &#160; I don&#39;t doubt that your comments are correct bu=
t it seems to me that laws based on Boolean logic may do more harm than goo=
d in a world that is many shades of grey.
         </div>=20
         <div>
          &#160; &#160; When a bird, or other animal, dies it may be releva=
nt to know why. And the why can be established only if the body is recovere=
d. And the opportunity for recovery may be transient.&#160;
         </div>=20
         <div>
          &#160; &#160; Consequently a regulation which say in effect that =
someone who recovers a body is guilty until proven innocent is bad law and =
poor wildlife management.&#160;
         </div>=20
         <div>
          &#160; &#160; Surely such regulations need to be flexible and sur=
ely enforcement is. Or is it ?
         </div>=20
         <div>
          &#160; &#160; I don&#39;t know the final outcome but some decades=
 ago an enterprising Newfoundlander was earning pin money by making trinket=
s from Moose antlers, which were otherwise destined for the landfill, and c=
harged with violating some sweeping regulation against sale of wildlife bod=
y parts. &#160;
