According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, you are allowed to import personally harvested migratory game birds that you have legally killed in Mexico back with you to the US, as long as it is not for commercial purposes. Each bird you import must have one fully feathered wing attached so that the species can be identified (this wing has to stay on until you get home, or you deliver the bird to a taxidermist) by a US Fish and Wildlife Inspector. You are allowed to import 25 waterfowl per day of shooting from Mexico into the US per person. Please note, that no information listed here is guaranteed to be current or correct, and that procedures vary according to US entry port and cannot be guaranteed. Please see the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website for extensive information relating to bringing your birds back into the US. Follow this link for a list of designated ports: If you are not flying to a designated port, we highly recommend you notify the nearest designated port of your intended destination and inquire as to any procedures or notifications necessary. In order to import wildlife, you must file a Declaration for Importation of Fish and Wildlife (form 3-177) filled out when you come back to the US. You are allowed to import 25 waterfowl per day of shooting from Mexico into the US per person.
