If you have it done by an actual processor while you're there then that requirement doesn't apply. Not sure about WY rules though
If you have an either sex tag in Wyoming, then there is no need to maintain evidence of sex. If you have a doe deer, doe antelope, or cow/calf elk tag, you need to keep evidence of sex with the meat and the easiest way is to cut the udder off and put it in a ziplock bag to comply with the requirement. Several years ago it had to remain attached to a part of the carcass, but that "attached" wording was eliminated and IMHO makes compliance easier. The main thing people need to know is that the majority of states now have laws in place that don't allow an intact animal or head to be transported into their states due to CWD. That means at a minimum removing the spinal column, brain tissue, and meat from the head since scientists say that is the areas where the CWD prion is. No longer do you drive down I-80, I-90, or I-70 through the middle of the country and see whole animals in PUs or on trailers.
