RE: Do you run your harvested deer through a game station?
Hmmmmm??? I am not sure what a "check station" is?? Here in this county in Texas.....YES you have to put your tag on the animal for processing. But that is about as far as it goes.
That is only to insure that the "processor" is legal in what he is doing.
But, then again.........We have no "tagged" animals here other than deer or turkey. I think there is an alligator season over in some of the eastern counties here though. Can't think of any more "tagged" animals right now.
Best wishes.
