What happens regarding trophies when game laws change?
08/12/09 04:54 PM

A local paper just ran an article about an Iowa man who was hunting elk in Wyoming and was attacked by a grizzly, which he killed in self defense. The article went on to say that grizzlies were recently declared federally endangered(I hadn't heard that but I'm not a biologist either) and the hunter is facing 6 months in federal prison and $25,000 in fones if convicted of illegally killing an endangered species. The story made me wonder, when a species is declared endangered are the hunting trophies now illegal to possess? Grizzlies were legal game animals for a lot of years, a lot of people spent massive amounts of money on those hunts and the resulting taxidermy bills. Taking it a bit farther, I'm sure there are some old hunters out there who still have a mounted bald eagle or something else equally illegal that they shot back when it was legal to do so. Is there some process to document that they have a "pre-ban" mount, or do they have to be turned in to the closest game agency?
