Hello from Scotland~

Need a bit of advice................. picked up a young female (12lb) Otter killed out side my work this morning by a car. Shame as they are pretty rare on the local river they are also COMPLETELY PROTECTED by law.

I have just skinned her (Rug stlye) feet + nails, head, tail, etc ive skinned many mink and also pull the tail bone out............. cant mind if you have to split otters tails or not ? I know you have to split Badger tails but Otter ??

Thanks

Yes, split it

Tell me, if this thing is completly protected by law, how can you have one?

In the states if their protected you can't have it no matter how you got it....

Cheers i split it any way ! We can collect protected animals i.e road kill but cant sell them without a licence when ever i pick up any such animal i record as much data as possible and keep it. The skin shows no ilegal marks i.e bullet holes and i have wittness who saw it on the road. Hopefully wont need to use them Also e-mail Gov dept to offer details in case any body is studying them and wants data or skull.
