What to do before you transport

  1. Confirm the current rule directly with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish before you transport anything.
  2. Keep proof of where you hunted — many states require a label with your name, license number, and the state of harvest.
  3. Pennsylvania has confirmed CWD detections; check whether New Mexico applies a stricter rule to carcasses from CWD-affected states.
  4. If your route crosses additional states, check each one — a state you only drive through can still regulate possession in transit.
