Some years ago I set out to write a detailed article about processing and selling game bird skins. After a tremendous amouont of research, phone calls, emails, letters, official requests for information, and so on, I gave up. The conflicting laws, details, opinions, goofball States's Attorneys, idiot Federal Prosecutors, even more idiotic Federal Special Agents, and so on were simply too much.

All I can say is there are multiple felonies documentable on ebay every day...

I long for the days when I was in college and selling mallard skins by the hundreds to help me make it through until the next summer's job. It was such hard work!

Now certain Feds say the law only covers feathers and you cannot sell the skin with the bird... Complicating a whole lot of things for no practical advantage...
