In Virginia, that call-in/internet check thing just started last year. On only deer tho, bear (and I'm perty sure turkey) you still have to check-in at the store.
Did it make it easier fer me? Good Lord..last year we fergot twice. Wound up callin it in 5 hours later. By the time we got the deer hung, got al the dogs out the truck, got all the gear in the house etc. etc...I had plum fergot. Why? probaly cause I've spent a lifetime of checkin in deer before I got home at the store I reckon.
I agree w/ Wolvie on one thing..it will cause many a deer to go unaccounted fer. I really enjoyed lookin at last year's stats and wonderin how the deer herd is...and while it aint but so accurate..it's alot more accurate than places like MI er wherever.
I think it will be sorely abused here. The stats fer last year aint come out yet I dont think, but t will interestin to see. This year will be a banner year fer whitetails in VA...I've been seein HUGE amounts of deer all over the place. And bucks everywheres! I'm gittin excited...
I will miss goin to the store at lunch and seein all the deer..thankfully, VA is fulla hard-headed hunters like myself who still went to the check stations last yr despite the new law..and the big ole deer was everywhere, just as its always been
