Just got a new email from the dept. Looks like Nevada is adopting the same requirements as surrounding states, to keep from bringing CWD into the state.
"Greetings Nevada Hunter!
We hope that you are looking forward to a great hunting season. Before you head into the field, we want to be sure you are aware of our efforts to keep Nevada Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) free! CWD is a transmissible neurological disease that is always fatal to animals in the deer family.
Currently, CWD is found in 34 states and Canadian provinces, but thankfully not in Nevada. However, your help is needed to keep it that way!
If you hunt any member of the deer family(deer, elk, moose, caribou/reindeer) out of state, there are restrictions on what you can bring back into Nevada. Under
Senate Bill 85:
It is illegal for any person to knowingly possess or bring into Nevada the carcass or any part of the carcass of any cervid (elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, moose, reindeer, caribou, or fallow deer) from another state, territory, or country,
unless the spinal column and brain tissue have been removed.
It is legal for any person to bring into Nevada the following parts of the carcass of any cervid:
- Wrapped meat or quarters, with no part of the spinal column, brain tissue, or head attached.
- The hide or cape with no part of the spinal column, brain tissue, or head attached.
- The clean skull plate with antlers attached and no brain tissue attached.
- The antlers with no meat or tissue other than antler velvet attached.
- The taxidermy mount with no meat or tissue other than antler velvet attached.
- The upper canine teeth including, without limitation, the bugler, whistler, and ivory teeth.
Thank you for helping us protect Nevada's wildlife. We hope you have a successful hunting season!"
