Once again we have to hand it to Virginia to make things easier for the majority. Check in lines, driving your deer all over tarnation, etc. are just more things that stand in the way of getting your kill reduced quickly for the best use of the meat. I process my own deer and if I shoot it at my Dad's house it is a pain to go get the truck and trailer, load her up, drive more than 15 miles round trip, get it entered in the book, then get it home to process. It was usually at least midnight before I could get a closing light deer reduced just into quarters. Plus, on Saturday night, am I supposed to wait until Monday morning to check a deer? On the Eastern Shore, unless it is very late in the season I would need a walk in freezer to hang it until then.

Ill call my kills in with a smile. An accurate harvest count will help the game wardens help the DGIF guys help us keep the herd healthy. More better deer!
