Ernie: Now that you know where it came from and who sold it, I hope you are considering turning it over to the Conservation Officer for further investigation as to who consigned it. It is my belief that this in direct violation of IC 14-21-2-4 and should be pursued as an example, so that people will understand that this cannot continue to go on. Surely the auction company understands the law or should, if not the individual. Congratulations on a job well done!
