What to do before you transport
- Confirm the current rule directly with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish 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.
- Wyoming has confirmed CWD detections; check whether New Mexico 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.
We could not confirm New Mexico's current carcass-import rule from a primary source. We do not publish an unverified rule. Check directly with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish before transport.
