Yeah I know some states require the hunter to do that.

You know I am surprised HuntingNet does not have a page specifically for links to every states Deparment of Conservation/Game and Fish web site concerning the rules and regulations for each specific type of hunting season. Maybe they do, and I haven't found it? I became familiar with mine years ago. It's very informative and interactive with maps to hunting areas and now I can even check in my kill online!
