You might want to take a serious look at the laws governing collection and possesion of native wildlife in Arizona. They have very serious restrictions on this kind of thing.

Not trying to get on your case about this, but I was in Arizona and they were rather militant about enforcement. Which at the time completely prohibited collection of native species.

Don't know when you were here last, but I have lived in Arizona for 18 years now, and you are allowed to collect native species, but you must have a valid Arizona hunting license. And be aware of bag limits, and protected species.
