I've been wanting this here in Indiana for years and it looks like we're finally close!

What this essentially does is allow hunters to "self check" their deer or turkey via phone or internet. I know a lot of people argue that this would encourage people not check their kills in at all, but I believe it would actually have the opposite effect. I can personally attest to the fact that taking deer and turkey to a check station is a PAIN IN THE

Especially when you take an animal on a Sunday evening and there's nothing open and you have to work the next day!

Guys who want to cheat the system will do so no matter what the case, so yeah I am in support of this. Unfortunately the state makes "No Reward" or little if any thing given to these bussinesses who are check stations. I could be wrong but I have not heard of any incentive to them. Hate to change the subject but it is to my knowledge the same way for bussinesses who sell fishing liscence, Again Maybe I am wrong. I just have not heard of anything.
This did cost me about 600 bucks onetime though; Chase's first turkey we checked in at the 4-Way Bridge Bait and the guys there went so gaga over his bird that we ended up getting it mounted! 
Just another night at work for me and Monty will be back here again bright and early.
