That rule is total bs and goes against common sense and common human behavior. We have unintentionally violated that rule countless times.

And get it to the front of your hunting property where you can then deal with field dressing the deer and loading it onto a truck for transport. THAT is when I think about filling out the Harvest Record --- before I drive off the property.

The LAST thing I think about during dead deer recovery and transport to the front of property is finding an ink pen and filling out the report.

The rule should be changed to hunter must fill out report before leaving property where the deer was killed.

Negative.
That rule is the prevailing authority across the country.
You go to any other state and you'll find the same requirements.
I like it.


This is one good thing about GameCheck: when you log in it will retain your required info even if you don't have cell service in that spot and then log it into the system when you acquire service. So if you have GC on your phone and take the 3-4 minutes after finding the dead deer to do it, you're done.

Isn't that right?

Also, if you have the app and use it to record your info then you don't also have to fill out the paper record.
