RE: Head on or off?
Tazman,I see you have check stations and it would not be a problem there in your state.
No we do not have check stations here in Pa.
You can tag a deer drag it to your truck or camp hang it and either butcher it yourself or take it to a butcher.You see what I mean here in Pa of how important it would be to keep the tag attached to the head.I think check stations is the way to go here even if you let little places like pro shops,conv. stores, sporting goods etc have them it brings in business for them and you get a better count on the deer harvested.But I guess that is another issue.
