FWP To Auction Confiscated Antlers, Hides, Horns

Antlers, horns, hides, mounts and skulls that were confiscated by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks enforcement from all regions of the state will be auctioned on Saturday, June 27, at the Expo Center at MetraPark in Billings.

Most of the items for sale come from poaching incidents. Montana statute requires FWP to sell seized items at public auction. When a carcass is confiscated, FWP donates the meat to a charitable organization and removes the antlers to be sold at auction. When enough inventory is collected, FWP schedules an auction.

Doors open at 8 a.m. for inspection and the live auction begins at 10 a.m. The auction is open to the public. Participants can register to bid at the door with photo ID.
