If while hunting during the Wyoming deer season in a couple weeks and I find a mule deer or elk shed can a person keep it or not? Thanks Guys! Luke

You may keep sheds, dead heads not so much.

You may keep sheds, dead heads not so much.

You can purchase an interstate tag from a Game Warden (they carry a bunch of them on them) You have to provide GPS coordinates and pictures of the site where the skull/animal was found.

Make sure you check state laws in the state(s) you'll be traveling through for transportation from a CWD area/state. http://cwd-info.org/category/national-news/

To legally possess antlers or horns attached to a skull plate or trophy game skulls an IGT is required. If you are in the remote backcountry, you may pick up and transport skull plates with antlers/horns attached or trophy game skulls. However, you must contact a Wyoming Game and Fish Department enforcement officer as soon as a public telephone or cell phone service is available to get approval to transport such items and make arrangements to obtain an IGT.
