Guest ILclimber Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I know we have guys from all over the country here on the forum, but what are the certain ways that your DNR's require you to check in your animals. Here in IL we have the telecheck system. Just went to it last year, still kind of skeptical about it but I just wanted to get educated on other states check in's. Thanks guys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtBowhunter Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: Checking in Deer? We have to go to a licensed check station, which is usually the local Ma-n-Pop store or Proshop. There they look the critters over and weigh them for records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sskybnd Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: Checking in Deer? we have to take it to a check station, and they take the information down, i guess so they can tell how many and what type of deer was taken in that county.

magnatecsteve Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Checking in Deer? Tag it with a paper tag in field, then to check station where you get a transport tag that is supposed to be kept until the deer is consumed.

Gator Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Checking in Deer? Take it to the local check station, there are usually 2-3 in a county. Weigh it, and go in and tell em the weight, sex, points, weapon used. THINK we will be going to phone check in in a couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ILclimber Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Checking in Deer? Hey hoosier hunter, the telecheck system is the new deer check in system that is becoming more popular than your regular check station. Here in IL we have a 1-800 # that we dial, then a recording talks to us about how many deer, turkeys, coyote's, fox's, etc. Then we have to measure the distance in cm from the animals duclaw, to the tip of the hoove. If it's a buck, we have to tell them the amount of points. It's kinda long, but after all that, they give you a number to put on your tag and then your good to go!

hunterfisherman Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Checking in Deer? In Indiana we have to check it at a check station. They are all over so it's easy to find on. Most Gander Mountains are one as well and that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter47 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Checking in Deer? wow...interesting....no personal interaction??!!, do you think there is anyhting unethical involved as far as lying about being a buck or doe and the type of tag that is used, i understand you have to have tag numbers but that just seems to easy for dnr, oh well, just an opinion, but interestingly enough it seems convienient for us hunters.

Guest arrowman Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Checking in Deer? Missouri went to the telecheck system last year and it didn't seem to be a big deal, however, this year on opening morning of Archery season (Sept 15) it sounded like the first day of firearms season from my stand. I believe that alot of people are calling in rifle kills as archery kills. I'm both a hunter education and a bowhunter education instructor so for obviouse reasons of ethics, this bothers me.

Sounds like the telecheck systems would be really convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Obviously its the same for me too. LOL We have to have the deer checked in within 24 hours of finding it. How they would enforce this is beyond me but they can use a temp probe stuck into the meat to tell how long its been dead. We also have Biologists at some of the major check in spots to take even more data too. The take the lower jaw bone for aging and more detailed measurements of antlers, body length, head size, etc... I try to go to these to help the state out with thier data time permitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
