This part of the regs has me slightly confused:
anyone who possesses or transports the carcass or part of the carcass of the following animals must leave naturally attached to the carcass or one part of the carcass in the person's possession the following listed parts:
(I)For moose, elk, and deer:
(a)if the animal is male either
(i)that portion of the head which bears the antlers, OR
(II)both a testicle or part of the penis, AND the animals tail or another readily identifiable part of the hide not less than 6cm
. . . etc
So given this, how far can you go in the field? Can I skin and quarter the animal, so long as I bring the head with me when I hike out? Or does the head actually need to stay attached to the rest of the carcass? I ask because I don't own a truck, so what I haul out has to fit in my trunk; and I don't have a great place to do the work at home, so I'd prefer to skin and quarter it in the field, and leave the rest of it for 'yotes and wolves.
What do you guys that carve it up in the field do? Is there a particular method that works the best?
Thanks, the help is always appreciated
