fk game check, we need to organize a rebellion and refuse to use it. Instead of tea, throw chuck into Mobile Bay.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Before long you will probably have to have location settings on your phone turned on to be able to input harvest so they can verify where you killed it.

I'd believe it. I can't believe they make you do all this crap and then let the farmers kill a bazillion deer with no limit. So dang funny. And no, I'm not knocking farmers, I get why they have to kill deer. I just wish they didn't make everyone else jump through hoops.

Use of "required" will make some question if the paper "harvest" record is eliminated and probably increase the "Eh, screw this" factor. Just that one word could be seen as a kind of intimidation and not helpful for an already troubled situation.


This season IMO will be yet another clusterphuck with the app. You'll have hunters who still don't know about any "requirement" to check, older hunters who don't know how to do apps on their phone (and would hunt illegally or quit hunting), and people who won't know that the Pocket Ranger App isn't valid anymore and a new one is being used.

The new app is a hell of a lot easier to navigate and use than the Pocket Ranger app, though.

The "not knowing a new app is required" is what I see as a major obstacle. How many people will try the old way and when it doesn't work says screw it. For the ones who use the app thingy (,I dont) is this something you have to show the GW when asked for harvest record? If so, reckon how they will handle hunters showing the old app? In year 3, if the numbers come in below 100,000 again, whoa Nelly!

A lot. A lot of them will.

I don't remember what or where I saw about the new app back weeks ago, maybe a couple of months ago now. Perhaps it was in the department's e-newsletter. I deleted the Pocket Ranger, downloaded the new OA app and got logged in easily. MUCH easier than the old one, and less clutter, bullchit stuff and no advertisements (so far) on it.

I like the new app much better. Definite congrats to the DCNR for getting it done. They've been banged on and bitched at about the apps for years but from what I've seen (so far) the new one is light years better.

Now, though, the big task just three months before the season opens is getting the hunters to know about it. So far I haven't seen much progress on that. Email blasts are not that hard. Signage in license dealer outlets isn't difficult. Getting with whatever state news media - weekly newspapers reach more folks - along with web, radio and TV, to promote would be best. Just takes time and effort, along with taking some lumps from complainers but that's part of public work.

But the new app is much better. Pocket Ranger made me want to vomit, and a bunch of states still use it.

This isn't entirely true... There is a process that must be followed and does include reporting.

I wonder what percentage of Alabama hunters would still say they support Game Check at this point? I don't hear too many supporters on here anymore like when it originally started. They're a lot quieter now.

I hope the purpose is to make this one better than the old one. If that is it, I hope they succeeded.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Haven't been able to check anything (since the season's not here) but so far it's about as easy as can be. This new version seems to have been simplified greatly and streamlined.

Don't let the season hold you back. The total number has risen since March. About 10-15 but we'll past the deadline.

Have they made it any easier to log a deer for a child? I’ve been putting them under my name in the past.

Ole Chucky was talking a big game about his "Game Check" app Friday night at the Expo. He is very proud of it !! LOL

central ala,
Year 1 of GC--New, people have to learn. Reporting low.
Year 2 of GC-- App not working properly. Reporting low.
Year 3 of GC--New app. People have to learn. Reporting low.

How many years before the GC #s start becoming part of the decision making process? Are the numbers accurate, grossly inaccurate, or somewhere in between? How do we know? I think, maybe because I felt this way from the beginning, year 3 should be where hunters are knowledgeable of the process and using it as well as they ever will. I guess I still feel that way but I don't have trust in using these numbers and probably never will.
