Check stations only operate during the seasons, poachers hunt all year round. I am from missouri and own my own property. There has always been poachers (criminals). My cabin is back in the woods and I stay down there most every weekend. all year long at night I hear poachers. I think the call in checking would work if they make the penalties alot stronger for violating the laws and make it legal for landowners to drop anyone trespassing and poaching.
