Like I said, for 90%+ of the big game harvests you should be able to call it in within an hour or two.

Many US states have mandatory check ins of the entire animal, why would it be a problem to call it in, pay phones do still exist and a toll free number reduces your need for change.

This seems a moot point, as I have not seen anything in the proposed changes that would indicate that big game harvest reporting will need to take place after the kill. I believe the changes will still rely on end of season reporting.

Having said that, reporting within an hour or two as you keep insisting, would be highly impractical and would be consequently plagued by non-compliance, even when in proximity to a phone. I'm only speaking from my experience.

Like was discussed in another thread earlier...a few of the the US states using this new tag/reporting system say

5pm the day after the recovery

So I guess the definition of 'recovery' would have to be clarified....does it mean at the dock where the float plane lands and you unload the game ? ..then you should have access to communication by 5pm the next day..

They're a lot of hunters, in states like Montana, that spend days 'recovering' their game on horseback...once they get it home, they have till 5pm the next day to report it...

Recovery would mean when you put your hands on the animal. As far as how the reporting is mandated, we will find out when the changes are implemented.

Oh com'on Rick? Why would you post that crap? It's just so disrespectful and uncalled for? Common sense and good logic has no place in this thread. You've entirely ruled out all the what ifs and maybe's that the kid was getting us straightened out on?

Your only one day into the weekend Bushmoose you'd better pace yourself...LOL...

Back to it again on this subject and some still haven't understood the issues, unreal!!! Unpractical and a poacher gift at the least. It seems like the MNR is either stupid or only cares about the money. Probably both....

I was thinking the same thing....a system being used by 10s of 1,000's of hunters in the US for years now and still they think it won't work here. Guys sure don't like change...LOL...

I still remember the brouhaha when the MNR contract went to a US firm (same one in fact)) and the "sky is falling" crowd was out in full force on here for months bemoaning how it was never going to work etc etc...

Turns out it worked pretty well, at least we don't hear of too many complaints..
