The problem is that NOW you have to have the Game Check number BEFORE the processor can take the deer and you can not call the 1-800 number any more to receive the number. You figure that everyone has or can use the phone app?
I think you solved part of the equation.
It's a way to enforce more and exclusive use of the phone app and get away from the paper "harvest record" along with ending the 800-number.
No 800 number to call. Can't write down the info on paper and report later after dropping off the deer at the processor, because you don't have your number. So you MUST use the phone app to be in compliance.
Guess I won't be selling my Cabela's grinder after all.
