The "Deer Checking" wasn't really a big deal for me. It is only required in select areas(from what I've seen). I hunted out west this past year, and my buddy arrowed a big mulie(in the select area), that we checked in. They didn't really do anything except mark one down on the list, and where it was roughly killed. The people who checked it said it was for reasons like getting a game count, rather than anything with CWD. They didn't take any samples of the deer at all. I don't mind it, if it helps somebody manage the herd here in Kansas.
