Dead cat?

[.300Savage]

So I saw a dead cat (big kind) on my way to work today, should I call dfg or just leave it be to decompose? Never had to think about this before so figured I'd ask.

Yes you probably should

I'd call them, they can decide if they want to use it for data or let it "go back to nature".

I sent an email and I'm sure they have been notified as local sheriff is on scene now.

Another question sence dead cats are on my mind at the moment. I've heard pig and bear carcases are generally left alone by the scavengers, how bout cats? What'll eat a cat? If anything.

Should have grabbed the Head!!!!! Would have made a cool euro.

Shmave23, is it legal to have cat parts in CA? I thought guys were complaining they couldn't even shoot one (legally) out of state and bring it back.

 

[.300Savage]

I didn't even take pics or put my hands on it just for that reason. I deffinately thought about it but, u know all that law s#!t always gets in the way.

My friend no it is NOT legal!!!!!!!!!!!! Allot of things are NOT legal!!!!!!!!! I would have put the same story .300 Savage did, but would have had a AWSOME euro to dig up in about 2 months to enjoy.

Well had I not been on my way to work and standing on the side of a hwy it might have tempted me but showing up to work (about 2 miles from the carcass) with a lion head in the back of the truck and bloody hands might have required some explaining.

Maybe fish and game can find a way to bust someone and make a tv show about it:smiley-mouse:

That was the thing that made me question calling I don't want anybody to get in trouble just cause the forgot 2/3rds of the 3 S's

Maybe so, but if there are poachers working in your area, don't you think it might be in your best interest to contact someone, if only to secure your own safety in the woods?

I, being the statewide lion (and bear and pig) biologist, am interested in the location and condition of the cat.
