IE, I posted pics of my gobbler last spring...in theory they could request access to my personal info, to verify it was legal, and my harvest reported. Dunno how much truth in that...but they are HERE online frequently...and not just to debate the deer program!

LMAO! That's how they collect resources for shows like,Worlds most Stupid Criminals.

R.W.J can give a definite answer on this. But I'll share how it worked for someone I turned in. I called the southwest office about a fellow who shot deer without a license during and after the season. Two officers showed up at his house. Right away the noticed deer hair in his truck and scattered along his driveway to the basement entrance in back of his house. They then knocked on his door and told him why they where their. They asked to look in his basement. He said,I don't have any deer and your not coming in without a warrant. They said no problem. One of the officers got on the phone and less then an hour,two more officers showed up with a warrant. He was convicted with possession of nine illegal deer.
