Handling + processing requirements
It is illegal to transport or possess prohibited parts brought in from outside Nevada; violating parts may be seized and destroyed at the violator's expense.
What to do before you transport
- Confirm the current rule directly with the Nevada Department of Wildlife 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.
- Minnesota has confirmed CWD detections; check whether Nevada 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.
