MN Transport of Registered Birds?

[HuntFishDude]

The regulations (from DNR Turkey hunting pdf ) http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/recreation/hunting/turkey/hunt_rules.pdf :

REGISTRATION

• Every person who takes a wild turkey must register the bird within 24 hours of taking the turkey.

• You may now register by three methods: at a registration station (see mndnr.gov for the list), by phone, or by Internet.

• The feathers, head, and feet must remain on the wild turkey until it is registered. Once registered turkeys may be transported with just a fully feathered attached wing, or an intact leg and foot.

• No person may possess an unregistered wild turkey outside the wild turkey permit area where the bird was taken unless it is being transported in a direct route to a registration station.

I guess breasting out a bird cannot happen legally until one reaches their home? I like to do this at camp ( after registering the bird) just to keep the mess out of the house and leave the carcass for the crows.

What does everyone else do?

Just as stated above. I do not need to give the warden any reason to search me. Once I get home slice and dice.
