Default RE: Buck Or Doe?

Who's gonna fine the guys that make a mistake? You're going to leave it up to the individual to report himself and pay the $25 fine? It can't work on the honor system. Too many hunters, not enough enforcement.

What about shooting an adult deer late in the season? You've filled your "buck" tag, and this is your "doe" tag now. The ADULT deer you just shot was a buck that shed his antlers. What now? I understand the basis for what you're saying, but in all actuallity it's impossible to do and still cover the bases.

Let's put in CHECK STATIONS too! We can put 2 in every county. That's about...3700 deer checked on the first day. Assuming nearly 500,000 deer shot on the first day of firearms deer season. That's real practical.

Let's add it up...

134 Stations
At least 3 people/station
Average $10/hr/person
Added operating $...paperwork, computers, etc
Assume 15hr/person per day

$60,300 in wages min.
GOD knows what it would cost to get the People there and costs for supplies.
This is only one day! Plus, in 15hrs the workers would have to constantly check a deer approx. Every 15 seconds!
Obviously the deer harvests in some counties is higher and there would need to be more stations. Less in others. But still, you'd have to drive to the check station...in some counties, that might be an hours drive.

IT JUST ISN'T PRACTICAL...JUST LIKE THE "DOE/ANTLERLESS & BUCK/ANTLERED" SITUATION YOU'RE ALL FUSSING OVER NOW.

First you whined about the PGC not doing enough. Now you bitch because they're trying to do something. When something goes through you don't like the way it's going to happen. When you get sick of whining about one thing, you find something else. What next?
