I think our current process for recording your three bucks is just a warm up. I think pretty soon you will actually be issued three tags that must be attached to the horns like other states. I think this would be great for growing bigger bucks, and improving the overall age structure of our deer in alabama. We all know now that some people kill three bucks then just print off another tag and fill it up also. I dont , but I know some people do. I dont think for a minute that this would stop the outlaw from killing more than his share , but it would keep more honest people honest and make people be pretty selective on that third buck. I think it would be the one single thing that could most impact the quality of hunting in the state.
1. The folks "you know" will just take the chance of shoot and drive like hell home so they don't get caught with an untagged buck.
2. Outlaws will always kill more than supposed to.
3. Honest folks are already honest. If they ain't, they ain't.
4. Tags won't keep some that "you know" from doing wrong, but huge stiff fines, jail time, and the states support for increased GW's and surveillance will prevent "some".
Now if folks know "some" that are breaking laws and those folks REALLY CARE ABOUT CONSERVATION AND GAME LAWS, they will turn those SOB's in.
