In fact, many people collect mortalities for the StFX collection withou a permit, and the local DNR is aware of this. It helps if the person emails me that they've picked up a critter and will be bringing it to me. Similarly, people may find a road killed raptor, pick it up and bring it to DNR to get a taxidermy permit. I have yet to hear of anyone getting charged at the front desk for not getting the permit first. They also make allowances for good-hearted people bringing in injured wildlife to Helene, or other rehabbers.
