Please give your opinion about a system that is both feasible and accurate.
If you can't offer a method to accomplish that, don't respond.


It shouldn't come to this, honestly, because how it's set up now is pretty damned easy and should be enough. It also works in other states easily.

I also like the idea of how Idaho does it. I think it's Idaho, or maybe Washington. Either way, I believe you have to Tag-Report your kills and you have to complete and submit the post-season survey within x-timeframe after the season OR you get fined and cannot buy a license for the following season until it's submitted.

If you have a lifetime license then you'd have x-timeframe to fill out and submit the survey or your license is invalid until you do.

Is that harsh? Not really, IMO. They lay it out. They enforce it. You, as a hunter, know what is to be done and repercussions. And they, far as I know, see results in management goals-changes along with transparency.






Where would this leave non-deer hunting lifetime license holders?
