In Va and WV we have to use check in stations also.
In WV, the DNR is open the first couple days of rifle, to check in, weigh, and age. The are not very good at ageing either.
The rest of the check in' s are usually little country stores. They don' t ever come and look at your deer, in fact, out of 5 deer I checked in WV this past season, I wrote my own check in tag for 4 of them...LOL, that' s pretty bad. 2 times I didn' t even have the deer with me. They were back at camp hanging on the pole. They could care less. Heck, at least I check mine in....that' s a rare feat itself around there.
