I agree w/ Angus...I am also from MO and I kinda like the check stations but I do think doing away with them entices one who may not be 100% legal to further break game laws...For instance I know of a hunter in my home town who got his sons tags who does not hunt and filled them this past turkey season for him...I've know this guy for a long time and have never known him to do something like this...I confronted him about this and asked him why he would do something like this and he replied that with this new phone in thing its easy because he would have never tried it if his son had to accompany him to the check station and lie about the whole thing...I have been very upset about the whole thing because I feel I haven't done my part as a sportsman by not turning him in...I am from a very very small town and have known this guy for years and he is a good friend of my dad's who he does farming buisness with...I figure if he continues though he will have to pay the consequences because you never get away with something totally...I say keep the check stations and keep the so called honest guy HONEST!
