Interstate Harvest Travel
I am planning for the first time to use a deer processing outfit that is located across the state line. I am curious to know the legal ramifications of carrying a harvested whitetail into another state. (The animal would be killed in NC and travel to SC for processing.)

I would say...Dont do it. I dont know about in NC or SC, but in Georgia, it is ILLEGAL to carry other deer into the state. The DNR are monitoring the Chronic Wasting Disease that is present in Cervid species. Just call your local DNR office...they can tell you over the phone.
Unless you plan to do it under the radar. My deer cooler is a ask no questions kind of place...but DNR frequent in to regulate.

What are non-resident hunters supposed to do with there deer? Leave them at the state line? Check with your local DNR, but i'd think as long as it's tagged and registered, there wouldn't be a problem.

RE: Interstate Harvest Travel
you can bring it in, but you have to have it processed FIRST. You cant have any uncleaned heads, spinal column, organs. I was saying, you cant bring an uncleaned carcass across state lines...Its in our hunting regulations @ www.gohuntgeorgia.com It is irrelevent I know, I was just proving a point. : )
