RE: No Check Stations????
NC has been do it here for many years. It's the best. All you need to do is call 1-800-I Got One and check it in.
MD. is going to it next year. Thank God. It was a royal PIA to find a check in station. They all were being sqeezed out do to urban sprawl.
Va I'm not sure. I haven't hunted it for years. Back when I did, I quit taking there deer to the check in station. They never wanted to see the deer so why hassle with loading the deer up and going. I would just show up by myself and check it in.
Seriously, this is a plus not a minus for us hunters. It makes it so easy and reduces your wrap up time therefore it will increase your hunting time. It won't increase poaching. Poarchers are caught in the field. They are either caught in the act or someone tips off the game warden that someone has an illegal deer.
