I have a fella in my circle of acquaintance, not really a close friend, who has skirted the 3 buck limit since it started. He would kill 10-15 bucks a year before the 3 buck limit and has continued to do so for many years after the limit was implemented.

I know for a fact he is not checking all these bucks in. He can only check in 3 bucks and after that he'd get nailed by the system. I would dare say that he probably isn't checking any of them in.

I mention this example to say that I think GC compliance is way low. I believe there are many more deer being killed than is being reported. The guy I mentioned above is just one guy, that I happen to know. What about that one guy that all of you know who is doing something similar? It could add up to a lot of unreported deer.

Then I think there are those folks out there who just don't like GC and refuse to use it. They won't use it just to be able to say the "State" ain't gonna tell me what to do.

Yep, I think it's a flawed/skewed system and I don't know if we'll ever see any more compliance than current.
