The republic of Kalifornia has had the no CWD regulations for several years - we have always come back with animals - they stopped us & asked the right questions only once. I try to put antlers inside the truck cap out of sight. If we get something worth mounting we have it done in Colorado. Some guys have 1 day European mounting done.
Odds are you won’t have any issues at all. On the other hand it would be a huge PITA to have those issues to deal with if it could be easily avoided.
