No trophy skulls (antlered skulls). No raptor (hawk, Eagle, osprey, etc) feathers.
While it is technically illegal to remove any part of a wild animal that you did not have a legal permit to take, wco's won't bother you unless you breach the first paragraph.

I never knew about the feathers. Dam I collect single feathers that I find on my property I guess I should chuck them

You can send them here https://www.fws.gov/program/national-eagle-repository

Isn’t that just for eagles though?
BradleyUffner t1_j8md810 wrote
It's for all raptors (birds of prey), including eagles, hawks, owls, falcons, vultures, and others. I've got a friend with a falconry license who flies a great horned owl. It's even illegal for her to keep her own owl's dropped feathers. This is where she has to send them.

Genuine question - why no feathers?

>In the United States, the eagle feather law provides many exceptions to federal wildlife laws regarding eagles and other migratory birds to enable Native Americans to continue their traditional, spiritual and cultural practices. Under the current language of the eagle feather law, individuals of certifiable Native American ancestry enrolled in a federally recognized tribe are legally authorized to obtain eagle feathers. A violation of the Act can result in a fine of $100,000 ($200,000 for organizations), imprisonment for one year, or both, for a first offense. Penalties increase substantially for additional offenses, and a second violation of this Act is a felony.

Four legs good, two legs bad.

That's just what big mammal brother wants you to think. Always question why, never take some random redditer's word.

Anything that can be deemed a trophy is a problem, ribs, leg bones, etc no issues.

You're going to want to call the PA Game Commission, because laws in this state are weird. Shed hunting (collecting dropped antlers) is legal, as long as you aren't trespassing, but you cannot collect antlers attached to a head/skull (meaning you can't take them from a dead animal). Obviously bones aren't quite the same as antlers, but you'd be best off calling them to make sure you don't run afoul of any weird rules like that.
