So, here's my slightly knowledgeable long 2 cents worth... The problem with it is a couple things. 1) Being an anti-establishment Libertarian myself, it is most certainly moving into stronger government overreach. 2) There is not always cell service and many of my customers at Shana's Place do not even have a smart phone, and the ap crashes every cold January weekend night. ADCNR says their fix for this is to a)go to a kiosk, or b) call the office and get the game check number {of which I asked if they would have phone clerks available on sunday nights, christmas eve, or even the lovely paid state holidays. lol} and 3) It is not the processor's responsibility to enforce their regulations in order to protect ourselves. This will cause for longER lines on a busy nights, leading to deer being dumped in the local ditches and never truly giving the DCNR what they are after. I get that they need more accurate numbers! I believe it is because the old school 'ethical local hunters' are outnumbered. There are big money, big city folks killing all they see, never taking into consideration management, and then they donate the meat but keep the cape and antlers... there's the root of the problem! A better thought out way to handle this would be to a)give the processor the same 48 hours to get the numbers from the hunter so that they can at least take the carcass and get it in the cooler! or b)GIVE tags with every hunting license purchase, if you need more tags go to a kiosk. Chuck says that would be too expensive, though. I tried to post about this here over a month ago, it was denied. I was searching for anyone that could go to the board of directors meeting in Mobile and voice our opinions to get this changed. If folks just sit at home and complain, they must accept what they are given. A processor that is quitting is taking a stand against it in their own way. I am taking a stand against it in my own way. GA put this BS out real quick, but will enough Alabamians take a stand?
