Can I quarter my bear prior to registration?

A bear may be divided into not more than five parts, not including the hide, only to facilitate removal from the field. The head and neck shall remain attached to one of the other parts of the animal, not including the hide. A person who divides the bear prior to registration:

• may not allow the bear to be stored or transported with any other bear that has been divided prior to registration.
• may not divide any bear in a manner that does not keep one part of the bear intact to allow it to be measured in a straight line from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail, to determine it was an adult bear of 42 inches or greater.
• must remove all parts from the field except the entrails and exhibit all parts at the time of registration
