No trophy skulls (antlered skulls). No raptor (hawk, Eagle, osprey, etc) feathers.

While it is technically illegal to remove any part of a wild animal that you did not have a legal permit to take, wco's won't bother you unless you breach the first paragraph.

I never knew about the feathers. Dam I collect single feathers that I find on my property I guess I should chuck them

Isn’t that just for eagles though?

It's for all raptors (birds of prey), including eagles, hawks, owls, falcons, vultures, and others. I've got a friend with a falconry license who flies a great horned owl. It's even illegal for her to keep her own owl's dropped feathers. This is where she has to send them.

Eagle feather law

>In the United States, the eagle feather law provides many exceptions to federal wildlife laws regarding eagles and other migratory birds to enable Native Americans to continue their traditional, spiritual and cultural practices. Under the current language of the eagle feather law, individuals of certifiable Native American ancestry enrolled in a federally recognized tribe are legally authorized to obtain eagle feathers. A violation of the Act can result in a fine of $100,000 ($200,000 for organizations), imprisonment for one year, or both, for a first offense. Penalties increase substantially for additional offenses, and a second violation of this Act is a felony.
