I am in North Carolina. I just found this in the NC Wildlife Laws:
Special Provisions for Sale: As stated above, the North Carolina Administrative Code also contains provisions pertinent to the sale of wildlife. 15A NCAC 10B .0118 "Sale of Wildlife" contains the following provisions:
The sale of game birds and game animals or parts is prohibited, except that processed products of lawfully taken game birds and animals other than those made from edible portions may be sold provided that no label or advertisement identifies the product as a game bird, game animal, or part thereof and provided further that the game bird or game animal was lawfully acquired and the product is not readily identifiable as a game bird or game animal or part thereof.
So as I read this, I can make a pen out of deer antler. I think that a pen made of a leagal deer antler could not be "readily identified" as deer antler. I think that a person would have to ask to find out. So that part is satisfied.
But how do you sell someone a pen made of deer antler and not tell them you are selling a pen made of deer antler?
