Carcass transport rules

No statewide carcass transport restrictions for CWD currently apply since the state has no detections to date. Confirm the latest rules with your state wildlife agency before transporting harvest from out of state.

Testing

The state does not require CWD testing because it has no detections to date. Hunters who hunt in CWD-positive states should follow that state's testing requirements before transporting harvest home.
