3. Antlers, including antlers attached to skull caps, if the skull cap is cleaned of all brain and muscle tissue.
4. Hides.
5. Upper canine teeth, also known as "buglers", "whistlers", or "ivories".
6. Heads, if they are delivered to a taxidermist licensed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources within 72 hours after entry. A taxidermist accepting such a head must dispose of discarded tissue from the head at a landfill permitted by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management or through a renderer licensed by the BOAH.
7. Finished taxidermist mounts.
