Handling + processing requirements
Check the carcass-transport requirements of any state you pass through. In-state, brain and spinal tissue from processing must be bagged and disposed of in a Class II landfill.
What to do before you transport
- Confirm the current rule directly with the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks before you transport anything.
- Keep proof of where you hunted — many states require a label with your name, license number, and the state of harvest.
- Georgia has confirmed CWD detections; check whether Montana applies a stricter rule to carcasses from CWD-affected states.
- If your route crosses additional states, check each one — a state you only drive through can still regulate possession in transit.
