This is from the new rules.
Carcass Transport:
Hunters may bring carcasses from a lower risk area to a higher risk area, i.e. from outside of the CWD Management Zone into the Zone or from the CWD Management Zone into the Core Area.
Hunters may not transport whole deer carcasses from the CWD Core Area to the CWD Management Zone or remove carcasses from the CWD Management Zone to the rest of the state with two exceptions:
The deer must be properly checked within 24 hours of harvest at a DNR check station or head drop box, OR
Only these portions of the deer may be transported: hides, deboned meat, quarters or other parts of the cervid that do not have any part of the spinal column or head attached, finished taxidermy products, cleaned teeth, antlers, or antlers attached to a skullcap which have been cleaned of brain and muscle tissue.
