You can apply for the pins online and they will be sent to you free of charge for the first one, after that they are $5 per pin![:@]

I don't like this idea for a couple of reasons, one there will be a lot of people that will check in their bucks as does, and so on. I think it was a bad call on the governor's part to budget the IDNR. This will give all those poachers easy ways to not even check in their deer. I mean come on, there are much better ways of doing this. IDNR numbers for herds and harvest size and everything might be a little off. Many people can butcher and cape and process the meat themselves, it does not take that long for those people that do, they don't need to call in their deer, the only thing you need the conformation # for is for processing and taxidermy.
