These aren't entirely new, yeah? Either way, the way it reads to me, is that you cannot transport the head of your animal, period. But obviously everyone is going to take their head and antlers home. Is everyone breaking the rules or is there some language in here I'm missing?
I assume it can't be that you have to clean the brain and meat off your head at your kill site if you want to transport it? Nobody would be able to clean it well enough to make it "safe" from a CWD standpoint.
We all want to get our heads home, are we all just going to break the rules? Or what am I missing?
Other than that, my plan would be to have a local taxidermist do my head so I'm not transporting brain matter across state lines. But it seems that even transporting my head to the taxidermist is not okay per these regs.
