Because I'm a pedantic sort, I'll point out that this isn't completely true. The act you link to governs interstate commerce. Individual states can set different rules that apply for sales that do not cross state lines. I live in Vermont, so I'll use that as an example I know:
Big Game:
The only time it is legal to buy or sell big game or the meat of big game within the state is during the open season and for 20 days after the season ends.

This was a surprise to me when I moved to Vermont. I grew up in Wisconsin, which (at least when I was there) followed the rules that you quoted.
