You don't have to worry about the collar, if the state wants it back, they will come & find you. A friend shot a radio collared deer here in upstate NY a year ago. Directions on collar said to turn it in to the DEC. Well he had some running around to do that morning before he got the deer home, then proceeded to the DEC office with the collar & tag. They asked him, "Want to know where you've been today?" Then they plotted a map for him of all the places he traveled after the kill. Route taken, places stopped, times, MPH, etc. -- If the deer had been taken somewhere's that was not opened or legal, they would have known it.
