God forbid we do anything to record legal harvesting of a deer in this state.
This isn't about "recording the legal 'harvesting' of a deer in this state."
It's about forcing private businesses to do the work of and serve as agents of a state agency. It's about hunters in the last 15 years being micromanaged, told what to do with minimal if any explanation other than "just do it, we know best" follwed by pissy public statements about why no one's following the rules. It's about added fees and regulations from supposedly conservative politicians and appointees taking the tack of liberal progressives.
Taken strictly on its face, this "possession-transfer" regulation means that if you give your grandmother a hindquarter, you have to give her the information the department mandates. No one can or should say "Oh, but that's different an you know know it" because it's not. If I have to fill out bulldoodoo transfer confirmation crap to get a processor to cut up a nanny, you have to do the same stuff to give your deer to Granny.
Some of y'all who continue to say "Oh, it's just $15 so you should pay it or quit hunting" or "Just fill out the form, it's not a big deal or an imposition" are going to rue the day in the future when you wake up and realize the amount of crap you have to do to hunt a deer on your own land. When the "No one needs more than one buck!" adherents finally get their way, you'll be pissed about 10 years later when you're still seeing the same spindly 8-pointers, just like how we're not seeing more mature "giants!" 15 years after the 3-buck limit was rammed through to appease a small, vocal group,
But that''s fine. Continue down the path of rolling over when more regulations, fees and laws are imposed.
