RE: Changes you would like for Hunting Season
I think it's a very good idea blkpowder. No report no license.
One drawback might be that us old guys might have trouble remembering details like dates etc a year after if they want that stuff.
Maybe online or phone in reports either upon harvest or at seasons end with a computerized backup the next license buying season for those who forget.
IE:
1 report kills within 24 hours online or via phone
2 report due at end of season by phone or online even if no harvest
3 reporting either way gets you a confirmation number.
4 Next season, when you go to buy your license, if you didnt do those things above, your application gets flagged and you mustpay an extra fee (say $10 bucks or so) for the late report and report your harvest right then, right there before getting a license.
There'd be some learning curve time of, course, but I'd bet it could be running like a watch within 2-3 years with the proper POS license system in place.
We'd have virtually 100% accuracy with a minimum of expense. Maybe it would even save considerable $$When we consider how much time money and effort is currently expended checking processors and determining our abysmal reporting rate, one can't help think that it could save money too!
