Deer Check-In
In your state what is the requirements for checking in deer? About 2-years ago here in the state of Maryland we used to have check-in stations where you had to physically bring your deer to a check-in station with your license and confirmation number. But now our state has gone to a call in system where you call on the phone or check in your deer through the internet. In my opinion we should go back to bringing the deer to a check-in station. I think with this call in system it is too easy for dishonest hunters to cheat. For example, you can't shoot a second buck till after you shoot a doe first. Between firearms season and muzzleloader season we can kill up to 24 deer. There is no way I'm going to kill that many deer. So, if I killed 2-bucks on consecutive days all I would have to do is call in a doe which I didn't even kill. I enjoyed physically checking in deer, got to see what everyone else killed, talked to other hunters about their hunt and got to meet lots of other hunters. The draw back to check-in stations is those people who don't hunt or who are against hunting don't want to see dead deer sitting in the parking lot when they just want to have a cup of coffee. I'd like to know what everyone else thinks on this subject. Thank You.
