We should expect a statement allowing for shed collecting
Basically, in Massachusetts wildlife law, there is the presumption that you can’t do anything unless there is a statement that says you can. Read the Abstracts. If they don’t give you the go-ahead, you can’t do it. So it’s technically questionable whether we can even legally collect deer sheds. (Don’t worry about this. Nobody is out looking to arrest shed collectors.) We should expect a statement allowing for shed collecting.
