Mandatory tagging would not have to be "the state issues Tyvek tags" and the cost associated with that. You know they'd charge us more for that. But we can do it ourselves with a pen, slip of paper and GameCheck info written down and affixed to the antler (or ear, of a doe). It's that simple. I've done it in Ohio that way. Write down the required check-in info, put it in a Ziplock bag, tape it to the antler. Done. Also have done the state-issued tags in other states. The DIY method is easy and less costly.

If they continue to want "reporting compliance" and hunters want a better age structure then something will have to change.
