Chronic wasting disease
Carcass disposal
Transporting and disposal of deer, elk or moose
Chronic wasting disease can be transmitted from carcasses of animals harvested by hunters and are positive for CWD. The majority of CWD-positive animals that are harvested appear completely normal and healthy. To minimize the possibility of transmission, Wyoming's regulations require deer, elk and moose hunters to transport only the following items within Wyoming from the site of the kill:
- Whole carcasses can be transported to a camp, private residence for processing, a taxidermist, a processor or a CWD sample collection site in Wyoming, provided that the head and all portions of the spinal column remain at the site of the kill or such parts are disposed in any approved landfill or approved incinerator in Wyoming.
- Cut and wrapped meat.
- Edible portions with no portion of the spinal column or head attached.
- Cleaned hide without the head attached.
- Skull, skull plate, or antlers that have been cleaned of all meat and brain tissue.
- Teeth.
- Finished taxidermy mounts.
Transportation
Whole deer, elk and moose carcasses cannot be transported out of Wyoming. The only parts approved to leave the state are edible portions with no part of the spinal column or head, cleaned hide without the head, skull, skull plate or antlers cleaned of all meat and brain tissue, teeth or finished taxidermy mounts. While these parts are permitted to leave Wyoming, not all state regulations align with this.
NOTE: Nothing in these requirements allows hunters to remove evidence of sex, species or horn or antler development as required in the regulations. For further information, refer to the Important hunting information Section in the current year's deer or elk regulations.
