Hunters importing harvested free-ranging deer, elk or moose from Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Alberta or Saskatchewan are restricted to bringing into Michigan only deboned meat, antlers, antlers attached to a skull cap cleaned of all brain and muscle tissue, hides cleaned of excess tissue or blood, upper canine teeth or a finished taxidermic mount.

If your deer, elk or moose is sampled for CWD testing, wait for the test results before eating the meat.
