A man who belonged to an ancient religion whose rituals require the use of bald eagle feathers traveled to an area where bald eagles were known to roost. After searching the area, he found a fallen eagle feather and returned home. A few weeks later, the man showed the feather to an acquaintance, who happened to be a national park ranger, and explained how the feather was obtained. The ranger informed the man that a federal anti-poaching law makes any possession of a bald eagle feather without a special permit a crime. The ranger the cited the man for possession of the feather and confiscated it.
If the man challenges the statute as violative of the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, how should the court rule?
