     § 2124.  Retention of edible carcass for food.
        (a)  General rule.--Except as otherwise provided in
     subsection (b), the carcass of one deer, bear or elk killed
     under the provisions of section 2121 (relating to killing game
     or wildlife to protect property) may be retained for food. All
     portions of the carcass generally considered edible shall be
     consumed only within the household of a person having authority
     to kill and possess the game or wildlife. No additional animals
     may be retained for food until the entire carcass of the animal
     previously retained has been entirely consumed. The head and
     hide of each deer, bear or elk killed and retained for food
     shall be properly salted, placed in safekeeping and turned over
     to a commission officer.
        (b)  Exceptions.--No carcass, or any part or parts thereof,
     of any deer, bear or elk shall be retained for food, by any
     person, if the animal was killed upon:
            (1)  Land located within a game or wildlife deterrent
        fence provided by the commission.
            (2)  Land, or any part thereof, on which access for
        hunting purposes is denied at any time.
