Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Serious Deer Talk Forum New Game Check App

I think more folks trust the FBI than ADCNR.

I believe the recent GC numbers are more accurate than the previous decades of wild guessing.
Even if GC has only attained a 30% success rate, the numbers are still far below the lies we been told for many years, compliments of that elusive survey.

But you can still bypass the app all together and just call it in within 24hrs, correct? I mean, I can't imagine them saying "Legally, you MUST own a smart phone in order to deer hunt".

Hell, if democrats can say that requiring an ID to vote is a barrier to voting because some folks can't afford to get one, then ain't no way they're going to require a $500+ smart phone to shoot a deer....

I don't have one and I'm not getting one. I don't think that is what they are saying though.

I'm not getting into the accuracy of the old and new numbers because I've heard good arguments from both sides. I'll leave that for others. But if the old way is/was such a wild guess, why are they still using it?? What was the old #, around 250,000 killed each year? They are taking that number then finding what percentage is the GC #. In other words, 75,000 (GC #) is about 30% of the old # (around 250,000 or so). So the old # they believe in enough to come up with a participation percentage for GC. If there is that much faith in the old way why change??

The participation number (30-35%) should have never been told to us. Should have said we are not where we want to be but we will get there. We, or i, had no idea they would continue to use the old number as a basis for accuracy. Now if the GC # continues in the 80,000 neighborhood, it will be seen as 30-35% participation by hunters.
But is it 30-35%?? Or is it 80-85%? How do we know? The powers that be are still using the old numbers

Please tell me you can at least report multiple hunters on the same app. That’s the main improvement I wanted.

I'm not sure, just now getting to play with it. I do know you can log in/out with your CID and DOB so I would assume you can.

I'm guessing the same folks that built the obama care website did the 1st game check app.

Hey wait a minute…..you know, that makes a lot of sense…..Why didn’t you bring this up in the beginning before we went and did all of this?

Whether for or against GC, I think we can all agree it's here to stay. Where it goes from here is where opinions will differ greatly. My opinion of where GC goes from here is based more on human nature, how people respond to certain situations, and not on GC itself or results.

GC has been a colossal failure, but I will continue to report my deer and turkeys if that is what they want.
Also, I like the new app.

Will not accept the number on my lifetime license in the Hunting License Number field under Choose Another Method of ID.

Choose another method. 😬

I just want to know who really owns game app. Dollar to a dozen its EBSCO's computer division. When the state buys me additional memory I will download to my phone. Every download failed previously as I dont have room on my phone.

Heck i just log kills in online via outdoor alabama via phone. That is all that is needed; a link. The game checks app is for commercial sale list purposes to be resold with demographics of specific areas you hunt.

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But, again.......if someone can confirm 100%......

If you don't have a phone that supports it, or simply don't want to use the app, you can still just log the animal on your license when you kill it, then call it in within 24hrs and still be considered totally legal, correct?

It looks like the required means you need the new app if you are going to report using the app. It says the old app doesn't work. So new app is 'required' if your going to use an app.

Yes

Good, then that's what I'll do................to hell with some stupid app that takes over tons of different (likely unnecessary) parts of your phone and [probably] tracks when/where you hunt.
