The sale of wildlife and various wildlife parts is illegal in NC with the following exceptions
Exceptions


NCGS §113-291.3 and §113-291.4 set out some exceptions to the general rule that wildlife may not be bought and sold. They are:
  • Lawfully taken wildlife may be sold to those persons who have licenses or permits from the WRC authorizing them to buy wildlife. For example, licensed fur dealers.
  • Dead rabbits and squirrels and their edible parts may be sold if not sold for resale.
  • Foxes taken with a depredation permit may be sold to a licensed fur dealer provided they are properly tagged according to Administrative Rules (see current Inland Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping Regulations Digest).
  • Lawfully taken non-game animals open to hunting and lawfully taken non-game fish may be sold. The only non-game animals presently open to hunting are feral swine, nutria, armadillos, stripped skunks, groundhogs and coyote. The only open season for non-game birds is crow and the sale of crow is illegal under federal law.
  • Lawfully taken fur-bearing animals and their parts, including furs and pelts, may, subject to any tagging and reporting requirements, be possessed, transported, bought and sold to licensed fur dealers. Processed furs acquired through lawful channels within or without the State by persons other than fur dealers may be bought and sold.
  • Wildlife specimens or their parts that are mounted, stuffed, or otherwise permanently preserved may be sold with a Trophy Wildlife Sale permit.
  • The pelt or feathers of deer, elk, fox, pheasant, quail, rabbit, or squirrel (fox and gray) may be bought or sold for the purpose of making fishing flies provided that the source of these animals may be documented as being legally obtained from out of state sources or from lawfully operated commercial breeding facilities. Refer to 50 C.F.R. 20.91 for federal requirements related to buying and selling migratory game birds.
  • Raw hides from any lawfully-taken or possessed white-tailed deer may be sold.

I'm not a lawyer or a game warden and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Were it me though......no......

Gifting is an entirely other matter.

Nice! I like those, but wanting to do something a little different with one. I'd like to find one similar to the bottom one if possible, but may have a need for a couple to complete my project.

These are mostly partials. A couple I have cut. A couple more I have dumped in the woods and picked up later. So they got chewed on. There is another one over in the woods I have not picked up yet. But if you want one, it's yours.

Biggest problem your are going to find is getting a whole, nice looking skull usually means someone paid for a Euro mount. Or they put the work in themselves. Also means they are probably not going to let it go. A little late this year, but you could put the word out for a head and get the mount or do it yourself next year. Possibly hit up a taxidermist and see if they have any that were not picked up.
 
There is a place in High Point that has a lot of old skull mounts. Did not see the price on them but other stuff they had had good prices. It is an antique/ junk store called Golden Oldies,312 W Broad Ave
, High Point
