i with you on this,i get tired of going to a check station to have some kid come out and stick a peice of plastic through it. half the time they just give you the plastic at the counter and ask you to do it yourself they don't want to get grossed out.all for what? some imformation of what unit it was killed in and if was a buck or doe.i can see maybe during gun season for teeth samples and maybe cwd test,but they could get the same thing at a locker plant.to me it does nothing to stop poaching anmore i know a lot of people who kill it legal, tag it legal and just take it home and cut it up.they count on their tags they are just tired of the hassle of finding a check station that is open and getting to it on time.for what, why not just mail it in like they did this few years ago and i believe they said alot of people didn't send it in.well i bet there is alot more not checked in now a days.just tired of the hassle in missouri.

I think they would get more valuable info from a phone in system because more people would put up with the inconvenience of making a phone call than driving all over the place. I'm sure compliance would be higher if they reduced the hassle and let people relax and have a beer and take pictures instead of driving the deer out to somewhere they wouldn't have to go otherwise.
Here in Ontario we don't have to check in our deer, we simply tag it on the spot, if you're caught with a deer thats not tagged you're a poacher. We do have to check in wild turkeys because they are still being re-introduced, but I hope they do away with that soon because when I got my 1st this spring the last thing I wanted to do was drive cross country to have my bird compared to all the other birds, I just wanted to get the guts out of it, have a beer with my friends and tell the story.

well we still have some here "Fl" the ones for deer are at the inter\exit road. in the wma that have them. which is not that many.
but you only have to check game on the wma that have the station on site.


when bear hunting was still leagle you had to check them. there was an onsite boligest to get the info at the "bear check ins" or if it was after houres "for the bol." you left the guts for the boligest. the store owner toke down the other required info "the station for where we hunted was the only store within 50 miles 8-5 the iolgest was there in bear seasion. the store stayed open 24hr a day during bear seasion"
