In a small state like Maryland,...it might be ok for the phone or internet,checking in of deer and turkey,..but a state like NY or big state like that,..needs more,...maybe provide checking stations and the phone and internet would cover all the bases.
As for people finding another way around checking in their harvested animal,...Those are the jerks I am refering to,..and I fear there will be even more of them if more states adopt the what I call the "Honor System Check In Line".

The NYDEC`s deer herd numbers and forcast for a record year this past hunting season was WAY off,...and alot of hunters were displeased to say the least.

I had stated in a post in the N.E. area of this site (My prediction),..that the NYDEC was basically crazy and not too bright,.and felt that we as hunters and tax payers werent too bright until they recieved alot of mail and email complaining about the low deer numbers and then the proof came when the deer harvest numbers came in.

We need to do more to record what is being taken and also what is being seen while we are all hunting.
If the states cant afford to have enough people in the woods basically counting deer and such,.... then why not ask us (Hunters) to do some of the counting in our areas where we hunt.

Calling in to check in your deer ,..to me just isnt good "Deer Management"!!!

SAFE HUNTIN~
