illinois archery tags
 

picked up my archery tag yesterday , WTF?????????? we have to measure the antler or the foot where did this come from , why do they need this information they never took it before

i dont know. but i am afraid this check-in-by-phone system may do great damage to IL. deer hunting

RE: illinois archery tags
 

I would have to agree. In the area where I live several people have been caught checking in so-calledbow killed deer that appeared to have been shot with rifles. The check stations would make a call to the game warden if they expected foul play. With this new method there doesnt seem to be a way to actually verify the method of kill. I guess we will see.

my thoughts exactly. it will take years for the dnr to notice the damage this WILL cause

Bob, i got my tags 2 weeks ago, and noticed that, but havent read it real good. whats he deal ?

RE: illinois archery tags
 

Isnt it funny how the people (government)who are suppose to protect us and the wildlife in our state, are the same ones who will be responsible for changes in the laws that wil have the biggest negative impact on the exact things they are suppose to be protecting. Doesnt make sense to me.

RE: illinois archery tags
 

heck, I haven't even gotten my shotgun tags yet.

but with this new phone-in system,WHO NEEDS THEM! WAHOO!

seriosly guys, good luck, and lets show'em why nobody wants to mess with team illini.

RE: illinois archery tags
 

Ok I don't like the new system but who ever checked to see how your deer was killed before.....I took mine to the local gas station and some teenage girl behind the counter comes out and looks to see if it is a doe or buck and hands me the tag to put on it....Not much different now is it???

RE: illinois archery tags
 

Indiana is considering phone check in , and I hope it gets shot down . Poachers don't use check stations anyway , so I don't see how it will help .

RE: illinois archery tags
 

I am predicting that their will be folks who will not properly report their harvests and this will lead the state to believe over the next (about) 2 seasons that there are not enough deer being harvested. Instead of doing an accurate population survey (Gov Goblow won't see spending the $$$ as nec.), there will be more and more permits issued to try to take the imaginary out-of-control population down.

We need to go by this new system guys, as stupid as it seems, it's the only chance we have at some sort of herd management, and management of the herd is so very, very important. I urge everyone to follow the system and ENCOURAGE others to do the same for the reason above.

See in the future, when and if deer hunting goes downhill in IL, it will have all started with misuse of this new system. I'm going to do my part to see it doesn't happen. Everyone who harvests in our party will be reporting or not coming back next year.

If Wi ever went to this system about 60% of the hunters would quit
