I don't know why DCNR is worried about the number of deer taken. Cause whenever ALFA tells them they are paying off too many deer vs car MVAs, they'll increase the harvest numbers. I heard Commissioner Guy state that the DCNR didn't have a management objective. How can you make management decisions without an objective?

Why would you leave the deer in the woods, it says you have 24 hrs. I would already have my deer cleaned in a cooler in a couple of hours and just check it in when the system is back up. No big deal to me.

We have to call and check our deer in in Ohio and it has never been a problem for me; to be honest it is easier than when we had to take it to a check in station. In Ohio when you kill it you have to tag it with your temporary tag then when you get a chance call and get a confirmation number for your permanent tags. One tag has to stay with the meat and the other with the carcass. In would venture to say that even with a restricted harvest there is not a major problem with people not tagging their deer, DCNR doesn't play around.

If you haven't noticed people in Alabama resist change, good or bad.

You are correct. I still don't see much downside to doing this. Other than the occasional driving up the road to get enough service to call out. At the very minimum the state will have some idea as to the actual numbers being killed every season, not some wild a@@ guess.

The CAB unanimously approved the establishment of a mandatory game check system for the 2013-2014 deer hunting season. In addition to completing the Alabama Harvest Record upon the harvest of an antlered buck or turkey, hunters will be required to record their harvest into a game check database and obtain a harvest confirmation number for each animal taken. There are three ways to record the harvest and receive the harvest confirmation number: through the Outdoor Alabama website, the Outdoor Alabama App for both Droid and iPhone, or by calling a 1-800 number. All deer, antlered and unantlered, and turkey must be registered within 24 hours of harvest.


I just dialed the DCNR 1-800 number and got a recorded message telling me to check their website for more information... but the website is down.


The phone refers to the website because there is nothing in season to check in right now. The system will be easy to use. How do so many other states have a check system and still function? Change is sometimes good.

I thought there would be a lot of support for the check system because there are so many complaints about not having accurate population data. This seems like the easiest way to keep up with deer and turkey numbers across the state long term. If you can get on aldeer and use a computer then checking a deer shouldn't be an issue. Everyone has cell phones now and most have smart phones.
On the app, you will be able to see how many deer were killed by county as they are checked. Seems like a lot of positives and not really any negative. Just my opinion.

They will be so tied up regulating the legal hunters that nobody will have time to set up stings or chase down night-hunters, so again it will run rampant and nobody will have a clue as to how many deer are really being killed every year.


All a Game Warden would have to do it go by the processor and get a list of who all dropped deer off. Then he can check to see if each one had been checked in with-in the 24 hr period.

I am sure there are many who will not abide......just like there always has been.

There are many positives to the program.

The information obtained through this check system will not be complete. Alot of people will not report their kills. I bet alot more does get reported than bucks. Folks will not report bucks because they will still want to kill more than 3.

I just don't see the problem with making a dang phone call to report a kill....... unless you have something to hide

Will you still have to fill out that worthless harvest record that doesn't do anything except give a game warden another reason to give a ticket?

Amazing!!

How in the world did we ever go from a few thousand deer to just under 2 million deer without a reporting/tagging/whatever system to make the qdm liberals happy??

How in the world did we get along with out it for so long?

It's a wonder we've got any deer at all!!!

They couldn't get along without it in Ohio or [fill in the blank for wherever else somebody's from], so we really need to do it that way here.

Wouldn't he need some kind of warrant or court order? If I were a processor I wouldn't be giving a list to them voluntarily. Then again I still believe in the 4th amendment.

Every lease I've been on since 1990 has kept DMAP type kill logs in their check-in shacks and the game warden was given free access.

You'd think they might be interested in looking at those if they had really wanted some acccurate information.

I'm sure there were probably some deer that got sneaked out, but there were always 20 or more other members keeping an eye out for that.

If you're going to kill more than 3 bucks or not report them anyway, what's it matter anyway?
