SportingShooter 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 First thing I would say is report it to your local Police, get a reference or log number. You've covered your back then, they know its in your possession etc. Then think about mounting it. SS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Ive done a few road kill protected species, I always ring the police first and tell them where it is, then you need to write down exactly where you found it. The taxidermist will also need the location of where it was found. Thats what ive been doing and all parties were more than happy with it (police,taxidermist,me)! Hope this helps Just to add, ive found more road kill otters this year than any other, 5 in total...............but this area is very well populated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's all you need to do You are not obliged to contact the Environment Agency or any Otter group - they will just come and take it away from you OTC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
