I would say that the telecheck has everything to do with thekill numbers being down. I know several people that tag 1 out of 4 deer this year. They kill it clean it and quarter it all with in 30 minutes of the kill. I know a couple people that have killed 15-20 deer this year. I think it is wrong, very wrong but its happening. I know of 10 deer that have died with a 270 and a 7mm bow. I also have heard of other deer getting killed with a 270 or a 30-06 muzzloader. So I think doing away with the check station is a dumb idea. I think one of the best part of deer season if going to the check stations getting a cup of coffee and chatting with all the old timers listening and telling stories.
