To my knowledge, no hunter (or poacher, for that matter) has been charged and found guilty of failing to turn in a deer head from a mandatory head submission zone for CWD. So as for your question of what happens if they don’t turn the head in- I believe nothing.

Second, you are describing a scenario which lacks a ton of detail. How do you know they are a poacher? Did they take pictures which you saw and therefore suspect offenses under the wildlife act? If you suspect poaching, you should just call RAP.

I do believe that if an officer has reason to suspect poaching, such as suspicious pictures and a dead deer in a yard, they would have every right to question the person. Why wouldn’t they?

If they did indeed poach said deer, I think they will have bigger wildlife act violations than simply failing to submit a head!

My friend got a fine 2 years ago for late submission of a mandatory submission cwd head.
