No more going to the checkin station in Maryland

[DaMadman]

OK first off I have to say that I really enjoyed going to the checkin station at lunchtime and seeing what people bagged also but How in the heck can anyone say this is going to make it easier for someone to NOT check in a deer. In Maryland at least you still get a confirmation # and have to fill out a big game tag, the only difference is that instead of having to drag the deer up the road 10 mile to a checkin station you can take it straight home, hang it up and call a phone number to check it in.

I think people will be way MORE likely to check in a deer or turkey if they do not have to haul it up the road.

Just one "for instance" I shoot a deer right at sunset on a saturday evening. I have to take that deer home, hang it for the night and then take it back down and take it to the checking station check it in and then take it back home and re-hang it Sunday.

With the new checkin by phone/internet, I hang it up and call it in or go online, check it in and leave it hung in the barn. Much easier IMHO.
