Transporting Deer

[STILLNOFISH]

I have a quick question for you non resident hunters. I hunt in ND for deer and am a little confused on bringing a deer over state lines. In past years we have always processed the deer in ND. I have heard that Butchers will not take a deer from ND in minnesota, but WI butchers will. My question is, can I bring a ND buck back with me that has my tag on it and take it accross the state of MN to Wisconsin? Thanks for the help.

Anyone know the answer to this? Thanks

Couple years ago you couldn't bring a whole carcass into MN from anywhere, now you are just restricted to actual CWD areas being off limits. They have a map right in the MN rule synopsis you get with your license or on the DNR HSOforum. MN butchers should be able to take ND deer without any problem now that that changed last year.

Thanks lawdog for the info.

You're good coming from ND. The MN import ban applies only to areas where CWD has been found in the wild. Thankfully, ND is not on the list.
