I hunt in Texas and it is only legal to transport deer that are quartered and you have to have the whole head in possession, can't cut out the horns while transporting through the state. Makes it tricky crossing state line!

Florida has gone so far as to require hunters bringing in deer from anywhere other than Alabama or Georgia to get a permit and register the carcass with the State.

The law went into effect this month and has been both poorly communicated and with lots of vagueness. Moreover, it’s effectively voluntary so there’s really no way to track compliance.

You can get a signed statement from the landowner stating the proof of sex of your deer.

From Texas parks and wildlife website: LINK

quote:

Exception to Proof of Sex Instead of proof of sex, the hunter may obtain a receipt from a taxidermist or a signed statement from the landowner or the landowner’s agent containing the following information: Name of person who killed the wildlife resource; Date the wildlife resource was killed; and One of the following, as applicable: Whether the deer was antlered or antlerless; the sex of the pronghorn; the sex of the turkey and whether a beard was attached; or the sex of the pheasant.

This is all a tremendous hassle to the hunters, and for what? CWD is scattered around the country and they have no clue how to deal with it.

I wouldn't say its a tremendous hassle.

Which makes it all the more important to keep it from infecting populations in Louisiana.

It's inevitably going to make its way into Louisiana eventually, but hopefully they can delay the spread long enough that they will have a better game plan for it when it does make it into Louisiana.

We’re definitely seeing a leave it where it died approach here in FL. The game managers here are advocating field dressing and butchering it in the field. Leaving all skeletal remains minus a potential skull cap (brain matter removed) behind. Don’t put it in your truck, don’t take it camp. Take only the meat and leave the rest right there where it died.

Their argument is that if the deer had CWD the area is impacted. At least by leaving the carcass behind it cannot be spread by human activity.
