I dont disgree that we need a better reporting system but the gas station, mom n pop store, etc check staions arent the answer either


I used those convenience store check stations in West Virginia several times and I can tell you that the quality of the checking process left a bit to be desired. How accurate can you expect the information to be when it's taken by a minimum wage employee who's running gas pumps, making coffee and checking out a parade of customers.

Illinois just gave up the local check stations for an automated call in system that works very well. Your deer becomes illegal if you dont call it in by 10PM on the day you recover it. You get a confirmation number by phone and you'd better not transport that deer without it. I'm told thats the general direction we're likely to be headed.
