I didn't read all the posts, but I agree with DaMadman about making it easier for people to check deer. I know people that do not check deer because it is out of the way for them. Heck, it is out of the way for me too because there aren't a ton of checkin stations where I hunt. I would love to check my deer in by internet or phone.

I check all my waterfowl bands in on the internet instread of calling the number and waiting on hold. It is much quicker and easier for me that way. I would probably still do it by phone if that was the only way possible, but I wouldn't like it as much.

As far as requiring the checking of deer at checkin stations, there are a million ways around it. People cut the deer up and put it in a cooler, etc just to avoid having to drive the additional 30 minutes.

Maryland has so many deer and we are allowed to kill a ton, that it really shouldn't matter whether we check them in at home or on the road.
