WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted September 24, 2023 The only way I know is to put a regular Mexico tag on it and bring it over with all of the normal import/export paperwork. It has to be a tag from this year with a UMA # from the ranch. i shot a buck in January that I couldn’t find and the rancher/cowboy was able to find it in March. I went back down and brought it back just like I would have done it in January. reach out to me in Ernesto doesn’t get with you Houston Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They won’t allow it without proper paperwork and cleaned properly. I don’t think there is anyway around it. I hope I’m wrong but that is the only way I know of to bring it back legally.

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted September 25, 2023 I’m not 100% sure but i’ve heard you can cut the antlers off the skull and bring them back as "sheds". Glue them to a cheap bottle of tequila and i bet you wouldn’t get hassled at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless the street vendor owns a UMA and the registration is current, with all the proper documents and tags yes you can bring the head properly cleaned and tagged.

vitalzone Report post Posted September 25, 2023 I talked to fish and wildlife, The contacted a organization in Mexico that possibly migjt be able to buy a permit to bring it into arizona. I would o ly consider doing everyything legally as I would also get it mounted. It was obvious it was laying in the dirt for quite some time, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
