Depending on when you pick up the antlers, you need a permit. In this case, it was done legally. You can find the info on the DWR website or in the 2010 Big game guidebook. I copied this from it:
"From Feb. 1 to April 15, 2010, you must have an antler-gathering certificate on your person while collecting shed antlers or horns. You can obtain this certificate free of charge by visiting [url "http://wildlife.utah.gov"]wildlife.utah.gov[/url] and completing an online education course. You do not need an antler-gathering certificate at any other time of the year.
“Shed antlers” are antlers that a big game animal has dropped naturally as part of its annual life cycle. Shed antlers have a rounded base that’s commonly called an antler button or burr.
A “shed horn” is the sheath from the horn of a pronghorn that the animal has dropped naturally as part of its annual life cycle. Pronghorn are the only big game animals that shed their horns."
