(1) Each taxidermist shall receive, upon written request to the Secretary of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, a permit to sell an unclaimed specimen. No permit shall be issued by the secretary until receipt by the secretary of proof that the taxidermist has made a reasonable effort to notify the owner of the unclaimed specimen. Such proof shall include a copy of a letter notifying the owner, mailed to him at his last known address by registered or certified mail, and the return receipt of the mailing or, if not delivered, the actual letter and envelope with return receipt attached.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, any migratory specie or other federally protected animal shall not be sold under the provisions of this Section unless the specimen is accompanied by all the permits required by federal law for disposition or sale of such specie or animal.
