So am I understanding this correctly ???
Only bucks are required to be registered in the harvest record and enforced by game wardens , and does are voluntary.
I mean I agree it sucks to get a ticket for forgetting, but how else you going to keep up with it . If I got to buy a liscebse in the first place and you going to ticket the guy who forgets to tag his buck .. Just enforce It on both sexes so 99 % of us can get in the habit of keeping tags at all times and get what we are paying for in the first place . A managed herd.
Copied from the DCNR website :
Data collection is an extremely important part of any deer management program and should be the primary item affecting deer management decisions. Data collection allows managers to monitor trends in the deer population’s physical condition, deer population numbers, deer harvest numbers, hunter success rates, and many other measures of a deer management program and effectiveness. Not collecting the right types or amounts of deer-related data often adds many unnecessary challenges to an already difficult task. This is true for deer on a small private property or across an entire state.
