    In the state of Michigan you do not need a taxidermy license to work on fish. My question is.... Do fish need to be recorded when they come in to the shop on the dnr log sheet (specimen sheet)? Or does that sheet just pertain to everything that a Michigan taxidermist would need a license to mount?

    It would still be a good idea to keep a log book. Ask the MDNR. Don't just rely on posters here. No offense meant to rough waters.

    quick fish question

    Not sure how it works in states other then Texas, but we have to have what the state calls a "wildlife resource document" on everything we take in. The document shows who the item belongs to and that they gave it to you for the purpose of storage and/or taxidermy. If it is a game animal or game fish and doesn't have the document, it is considered yours and part of your personal bag limit. If I have more then the possession limit then I can get ticketed for over the limit.

    Ya better check. Ask Perca……..I can't believe we all have to keep records and buy a license but Yoopers get away with squat.
