Maybe so..How about more boots on the ground in the form of game wardens to enforce existing laws instead of more useless legislation that they will not enforce.Cant enforce!!

you have a valid point . But where has our governments bright ideas got us so far ? We saw more deer when it was bucks only kill all you want did we not ?

No sir I never said I disagreed with your opinion or point anything else out about your post. Yes we don't agree and I'm totally fine with that. All I'm saying is I participate in several different mandated tagging systems in many states each year. I don't personally have an issue with any of them. They aren't complicated and most are user friendly. I personally would agree to support a mandated tagging system for this state as a tool for our biologist and to possibly help reduce the over harvest. It's nothing more or nothing less to me in my opinion. Y'all have fun and I'll crawl back in my own little world now. I've shared my opinion and have nothing else to add. What I do seems to work well and I'm happy with the results, so either way I'm good.

I just want to participate in the survey dang it!!

Just park on the side of the road and start shooting deer. When the game warden shows up just ask him to take the survey.

I don't see this reporting of harvest issue to be about primarily about poachers. Its about being able to collect data so arguments like we carry on here can be backed up by scientific data. Its what everyone seems to be griping about the "lack of" in regards to why are they making unfounded(not backed by numbers) proposals. There will be growing pains with change but the other end of this issue is a more solid foundation for hunters in this state to stand on when they have a gripe about regulation.

Probably wont be able to find a game warden,but you can try.

I can pick my phone up and have a warden on the other end in nothing flat in both counties I currently hunt in. They bend over backward to help those that show them respect for the job they do.

Great guys for sure..Just not enough of them in many places.

I completed it. Only took a minute or two.

Squeaky, you're passionate about hunting and are a good hunter and that's all cool. I'm glad we have folks on both sides of the fence asking questions, poking, looking at possible holes in the bucket and other stuff to have discussions.

If we all thought the same thing we'd be a bunch of mopes.

What percentage of hunters do you think kill over the limit of bucks and more than 1 doe a day and how would a tagging system help with that.

What they need......must have is the legislature .

Remember game check.

whereinhellhaveyoubeen???

don't know the %, but tagging "might" give the GW a chance to bust a violator, deer or turkey. I always wanted a turkey tagging system.

i'm just gonna ignore your dumb ass post !!!!!

Troy, do I remember correctly that you stated that you have NEVER heard of someone getting a ticket for killing over their limit on turkeys? I am sure some folks would still get away with it but it might stop some folks from killing 20 a season.

how will counting dead deer help manage the health of the herd . i keep hearing it will but no one , no one has explained it to me yet .

If we gonna start checking deer,why not do the same for Fish and squirrels and rabbits..Maybe we can sell tags for an extra Bass or Crappie..Hell lets get the state involved in everything we do..You know they know best.Lets not leave anyone out of this madness.

If there were a resident wildlife biologists on here like there use to be then we would know.

i already ask them

simple fact is counting dead deer does no good if you don't know how many lives ones are there . just BS!!!!!
