Here in Ohio we have check stations. I think it benefits QDM more than it prevents poaching. If someone has questionable morals, they aren't going to bother making sure they get caught by checking in illegally harvested animals (although that's how a good number of violations are discovered). But the numbers that DNR uses to determine next year's limits are partially dependent upon this year's harvest. So I favor the check stations, at least for those reasons. It is a bit of an inconvenience when you have Sunday hunting and only 1 check station in the whole county is open on Sunday, and it's 20 miles away. That's my only complaint.
