Good evening,

I am considering quartering and packing out a deer this year if I hunt deep in the HNF. I would take all usable meat and all that would remain in the woods would be the spine, the guts, the pelvis, and maybe the head (depending on the sex).

Before I do this, I want to make sure it is legal. I cannot find anything stating either way.

A harvested deer must be checked in within 48 hours. A deer may NOT be processed until after it is checked in. The head must remain attached to the carcass until the deer is checked in. The confirmation number of the deer being checked in needs to be with deer until processing begins.

in order to accomplish what you are requesting, you would need to check the deer in utilizing the electronic process, obtain a confirmation number, and then the processing can be begin with the deer being quartered.

The information provided in the answers to these questions is not to be considered or implied to be legal advice.

A person should contact an attorney for legal advice.
