You can't half @$$ something like this. It's not going to work without the enforcement measures. I've hunted in other states where you can't move the deer before you put a marked/dated tag on it. Then a processor and or taxidermist takes the confirmation number before rendering services. That's the pinch point with this thing. There's still going to be people that dodge the system and process their own deer. All this rhetoric in these articles tells me he's either really stupid thinking the change was going to happen without proper enforcement, or this is all just fluff to make him not seem so authoritarian. Either way, I think processors are going to take a hit in the future...especially if they limit does.
