...Missouri announced just a few days ago, that check stations are now a thing of the past.
This past Spring Turkey Season, we could use Tele-Chek, or go to a check station. Now, it's only Tele-Chek, or on the Internet.
They stated that a Conservation Agent had to spend approximately 40 hours per week during Deer or Turkey Season checking on the check stations. This new method of checking game will enable the agent to spend more time in the field, and following up on complaints.
It will reduce the "Bragging Rights" exposure for a lot of people, who have killed a nice buck or gobbler.
But, then again, if you killed a button buck or a jake, you won't have to endure the looks of pity, or hear the snickers of the ones who killed a bigger trophy than yours.
