Honestly I think processors should have to list gender of the deer and who killed it on every deer brought in. Gw pics list up every so often and cross reference against database. Easiest way to make sure deer are being checked in.

Not everyone uses processors. Another flaw in data returns

Nothing to do with the processor being enforcement. If you take ducks to a commercial picker say in Arkansas...when you lleave them in their possession they must have all your info and includes license and DL info.

For data to be good and or useable you MUST have ALL the data not 35%...our hunters fighting city hall is our biggest hurdle. And city hall isn't always correct either!

In the end.... and I'm not trying to hijack or derail the thread but what is so hard about getting a confirmation number unless you plan to kill more than your limit?

Should gas stations verify your valid driver's license and insurance??
Should your mechanic verify the valid tag and registration on your car??
Should your doctor verify your birth certificate??

If deer processors in marshall county got brought deer killed in marahall county only an nowhere else...theyd go under in bout 2 seconds...if they got brought that many..may have come from other places.

ya'll keep bitching about wanting more regulations.......

This would cut into profits, why shoot themselves in the foot? Also, Im sure if the state ever starts making hunters have a confirmation number at the processor we will see more hunter processing more game at home.




Exactly, I hunt in one county and take my deer to a processor close to home in a different county. I’m sure a lot of people do the same.

I don't think we need more regulation. Although I don't terribly mind our current regulations.
But when your chief of wildlife section continues to offend every hunter and every landowner in the state, it's time to send him packing.
In my opinion, any administration that allows that prick to be in charge of anything does not deserve my compliance.

People's minds have been warped by needing "more data". It's never enough....ever.

Makes no difference what county it was killed in to the processor long as you checked it in.

The processors in the states that require this must be smarter than the ones in AL somehow they figured out how to do it and stay in business.

Or they're stupid. It's not their job.

This is beginning to sound like a "We need more witnesses" thread......

Bunch of democrats up in this joint.

Certainly seems to be.

Yea a bunch of democrats, that’s just a derogatory term people throw out on here when they have no argument. If the state is going to collect data then they need correct data. This is not rocket science if they want correct data then they will have to do what the states that get correct data do. If they are not going to do that then just quit trying, and go back to the way it use to be and quit pretending. I for one don’t really care either way. Alabama is always the butt end of the joke because that half ass do everything. Either take the steps necessary to get accurate data or go quit trying and go back to 2 does and a 1 buck a day and lets go hunting.

True. Was derogatory for me to say a bunch. I shouldn’t have. What I meant was a few with you being a primary one. More regs the sky is falling and we need more restrictions on everyone because a few get their feelings hurt when they can’t kill a pine goat.

Go out and have fun. If you can’t kill what you want take up golf but don’t try to force more restrictions on everyone else.

Now go check your emails. Berney needs some more money contributed to his campaign.

The fact is the majority of Alabama hunters could care less about management. They care about killing whatever they want whenever they want. If there were only two deer left in this state a buck and a doe some Alabama hunter would do his or her best to kill them to brag on Facebook about how they were able to kill the last two deer in the State because of their great hunting skills. Even though I live here and still occasionally hunt in Alabama I have given up on the State to better manage the deer herd and even sadder my fellow hunters to do what’s best not just for them and the moment but also for the future of hunting as a whole

They're frigging rodents. A dime a dozen.

Yes they are. Causes a lot a drama around those goats

I would venture to say the majority don’t necessarily look like everyone on this forum nor do they shoot everything that walks. Probably much more in the middle. Now what’re you live in Mobile maybe. That said I just watched a pretty basket six walk by over here in Baldwin.
