**New Transport Law Changes in MN**

The Minnesota Taxidermy Guild has been working hard to implement a change in the CWD Cervid "Deer" Transport Laws in Minnesota. Recently the MNDNR changed the laws and will now allow out of state Cervids to be brought into MN without having to cape it off the skull. Cervids are all deer; Whitetails, Elk, Moose, Muleys etc. Animals still have to be quartered and no spine attached to legally bring back into Minnesota. But you are allowed to bring in a whole cape, with the skull and horns still attached into MN. You are then given 48 hours upon entering MN to bring your trophy to a lisenced Taxidermist. This applies for European mounts too. Be sure to check the 2024 Hunting bylaws for the complete description of the new law changes.
This beautiful unique Elk is from Montana, we finished it this past spring (owner did all the proper required steps before bringing it to our studio, which now it'll make his next hunting trip easier)
