Before a Wisconsin mount goes to the shop
Register first
Register through GameReg by 5 p.m. the day after recovery (online gamereg.wi.gov, phone 1-844-426-3734, or in-person stations with a phone/computer). 10-character confirmation number beginning with "W" (format W12-345-6789).
Antlers and hides
Illegal to possess deer with antlers removed/altered so legality cannot be determined; carcass requires proof of harvest authorization; head, skin (not spotted) and antlers (not velvet) may be sold when separated. Albino/all-white deer protected.
Bobcat pelts
Validate and attach pelt tag immediately (through mouth to eye); register via GameReg by 5 p.m. next day; present pelt for certification within 7 days after the month of harvest (CITES tag before going to a taxidermist); Period 2 lower jaws collected.
Bear teeth
Validate paper carcass tag immediately (remove validation stub); attach if you leave the bear; register in county of kill or adjoining county by 5 p.m. the day after recovery (online, phone or station); mail two upper premolar teeth by Oct. 15 (Bear Tooth, 107 Sutliff Ave, Rhinelander, WI 54501 if no DNR envelope); keep tag with meat until consumed.
Permit
Wisconsin requires a DNR taxidermist permit, but the DNR publishes no list of holders, so permits were not checked here. Ask to see it.
Records
Private club that keeps Wisconsin big game records; its website (wisconsinbuckandbear.org) disallows automated fetching, so minimum scores and state records were not collected.
