My butcher doesn't even ask if I've got a license....much less look at the wound

There's a fat chick that works at one of the local checking stations in Scott County. She usually has a Baby Ruth bar sticking out of the corner of her mouth like she's smokin' a cigar! She would probably get chafed if she walked outside to check deer!

Endorse, no. Enable, yes. It will make it easier for poachers, but like an earlier poster's point: how many poachers check their game?

I think the number of poachers that check in game would astonish some of you guys... Not all poachers are replicas of what te tv shows or that thought in our heads of a couple over weight fellas in sleeveless flannel shirts. Alot of them are normal guys who just cheat when the opportunity arises. Seeing a deer at night and just happening to have a gun and a bad moment of judgment. Following some deer onto property that may not be there's. Not having a bow handy but having a rifle nearby when it's bow season. Hearing good movement and staying out that extra few minutes of dark and taking a dumb shot... This is all poaching.

They feel like there just stretching the rules in one area and alot of them would still check in that deer... If for no other reason just to appease there spouses and children and justify there illegal actions

It sure is and I agree 100%! That being said, online or Telecheck would have absolutely zero impact on these guys committing any of these acts in TN. The system we have had in place for over 25 years saw basically NO deer being actually looked at by anybody that would know the difference in a 300 mag and a arrow wound! The only exception would have been a few counties, with a couple locations, being monitored 1 or 2 weekends a year. Zero impact on breaking the law IMO.

Oh heck yea! I've known of some guys that have checked in a dandy buck before on opening morning, early, with the thing stiff as a board with frost still on it!

I haven't hunted in Tennessee but for 2 years. Indiana was much more involved than what I've seen and heard here. At least it was years ago... Now a days I'm not real sure what they do there either

I don't know about other places, but you better think twice before trying to check a deer in with a gunshot wound, during bow season at Yoder Bros....they DO check'em, and WILL turn your butt in...NO!, not me.
