Quote: Would it be illegal to have in posession an old red tail hawk mount that was done by a reputable taxidermist around 1968. I believe this was before hawks and other birds of prey were considered endagered. What are the rules on this?
The reason I brought this back to the top is my family has a snowy owl mounted probably 60 years ago that I let my cousin take just because being a taxidermist I felt It was pushing it. I have never gotten a straight answer from anyone on this.

I was told that you can have it but still can not sell or barter for it. Giving it away is fine. I would think this would be true in all states, but stranger things have happened.
then the laws?
If someone wants to press charges... THEY have to prove you have committed a crime. The burden of proof is not yours. We are innocent until proven guilty in a America.
