Hey all,
Looking for some help as I haven't taken an animal in CO yet. I'm planning on using the gutless method to field dress my animal, but looking at the Big Game brochure has me confused.
The guide says this:
2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:
A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns attached to carcass; or testicle,
scrotum or penis attached to carcass.
B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to carcass.
My assumption is that this means that since I don't plan on keeping any of the genitals attached, I'll have to keep the head and/or antlers attached to a front quarter. Am I correct in this? I think I'm more confused because I don't know CPW's definition of a carcass.
Thanks all. I'll probably call CPW anyhow for a discussion. Thought it would be good to ask here as well.
