    Hello everyone; I agree that the local wildlife offices or officer
    would be the best place to ask about the legality of horn and bone
    keeping in your state. 

    The phone book may be a poor place to start though.  Here in Ohio we
    have the state office of the Ohio Department Of Natural Resources in
    Columbus and 5 (I believe) regional offices throughout the state.  If
    you do not live in the city or county that the regional office is in
    - it won't appear in the phonebook. 

    Because the local wildlife officer is a law enforcement officer he
    will probably have an unlisted phone number so the phone book will
    not be of much help either. 

    Ask your local sheriff to get a hold of him or you also may have
    luck obtaining a contact through your local park district or park
    rangers as they have many of the same goals in their
    responsibilities. 

    They reason they have unlisted phone numbers and hard to find
    addresses is that they are law enforcement officers just like police,
    highway patrol, sheriffs, etc. and they do not want to be "found" by
    someone looking them up in phonebooks and other places of public
    record. 

Eric
