IMHO....I also believe internet/phone options for check in's will help in better reporting. I know some on here don't feel that way, but I can't really see where that type of system would hurt.
I'm open to hear why you think this? IMO it's only making it easier for the law-breakers. I lived in KY and they have the phone in system. I found that the bag limits and buck/doe kills are "whatever" the caller says......I cna't imagin e this system in WV where poaching is already a huge problem, but honestly I'm open to hear your thoughts..........
I realize that Wv has a problem with poaching, but people who do that type of thing most likely would not use a new system anyway. Another thought is that I can't remember a time a person came out and checked what I shot. But I know many landowners who would welcome it. Why take deer off your farm to bring it right back orwhy dirty up the truck. Think of the savings in waste or money. It could add a few jobs for Wv. I would use it for sure, sometimes I have to drive for 10-20minutes to find a station. I understand tradition, but, imho the good out weighs the bad....anything that helps hunters like me and you I'm for. Will poaching increase....I haveno idea, but I can't image why it would be any different than what is going on already. I do think reporting would increase, do to it being so simple. Would you use a new system if it was an option?
