Every deer I shoot goes strait to my garage where I have it skinned and quartered within minutes.I have an old refrigerator that I use to age the quarters in before I process them.Every deer I shoot gets taggedand every report card is sent in.It doesn't get any simpler than thatand I don't shoot deer out of season.

Reporting your harvest is a requirement in Pa just like it is in Maine.Our fines aren't as high but that's a legislative issue not a PGC issue.

Do you honestly believe people will go out of their way to drive to a check station when the majority won't send in a postage paid harvest report card?

I also hunt in Ohio where check stations are mandatory.They still calculate the harvest there.When I shoot a deer at 8:00am in the morning,it's no hassle torun it severalmiles down the roadto a check station.When I get one out of the woods after dark,it can be a hassle,especially if I wasn't planning to stay over another night.

I could support check stations if they were staffed with trained people that were gathering biogical data.However,I've never even had a clerk or a cashier look at any of my deer in Ohio.
