I hunted in Georgia, as well as Alabama, for many years. A few years ago, Georgia tried something like this and the processors said, hell no. I believe it came down the the state backing off because of the threat of lawsuits based on it not being the processors job to enforce the law. I know for a fact that the processor we used refused to ask us for the info the state requested.
How long ago was that? About three years ago, wasn't it?
I jus t looked at the Georgia DNR "harvest record" regulations, which pretty much mirror Alabama's.
Georgia's "harvest record" FAQs say you to give a deer to someone you must fill out information about yourself-date-etcetera "before transfering it to another person." But then the next sentence only mentions "friend/family" and no one else (like a taxidermist or processor).
