Longpathwalker just sent me a PM for a link covering temporary transportation tags for the desk reference. Fantastic idea, but...
Couldn't IDNR include some on the over half page of blank paper I recieve when I print my license?

Maybe Jackc99 might be able to put a word in on this. Wink, wink, nudge nudge

Ok, I stickied the printable .pdf transportation tags in the Reference section of this site. There is one stickied in the deer subcategory and one stickied in the turkey section.

Maybe Jackc99 might be able to put a word in on this. Wink, wink, nudge nudge From the F&W Division: "Hi Jack. Maybe- but we have to consider that while we provide our POS vendors with Computers and Printers, the vendors have to pay for both the paper and ink cartridges. Any "extra" printing (such as printing out a transport tag) eats up ink, and therefore costs them money. The vendors do a tremendous service for us, for the 75 cents they get reimbursed per license sold. I'd hate to cost them any additional money. We do include a temporary tag in each copy of the Hunting Guide. It's on page 15 and we print about 500,000 of those booklets each year. I'm not saying it's a perfect system, but we're trying to keep from adding our vendors expenses. That's the best I came come up with right now. " I guess if we have access to hunting guides we have temp transport forms and we help the vendors by not requiring them to use their ink for our tags. I see it as acceptable but I'm pretty easy to please. Someone else may demand a transport tag be provided but not me. JC |

What I did when I worked at walmart was xerox that tag they put in the booklet and hand it out with each license we sold. The hunters really liked it. I figured it made everyone's life a little bit easier.
I believe they should include it with each deer and turkey tag right under the license. It's a huge help for the hunters. We sold hundreds and hundreds of licenses and never had to change the ink. It's not like there's a lot on there to eat up the ink anyway and paper wise usually the license only took up half or 3/4 the page to begin with.

You don't need a standard tag. All you need is your name, date of kill, sex of the deer, etc, etc... Any piece of paper will work.

What's it gonna cost ? The ink and printer thing is B.S. Most of us buy them on line and print them out ourselves anyway. Outfits like Wally World print the most of rest, and it aint gonna kill them.
It could be incorporated on to the same sheet of paper also, so no additional paper wasted.
I wouldn't give up yet. It's a good idea and would take very little to do it.

Feel free to take the issue to IDNR. I have another project that is taking all my time right now. And yes I agree it's a good idea and would take very little to accomplish except for the issue of reprogramming the printers. IDNR has to go through Access Indiana to get anything like this done and it would probably take 18 months. Won't affect me either way as I (like many others) print my own licenses and tags at home. Gotta love the POS system.

I just wish we had a "Tel-Check" system to check in our Harvested Deer. Had to washout the blood from my car, from the two I got the other morning!  |

some of us hunters' want tele-checking, why should we waste gas and time for something that could be done over the phone?they(d.n.r.) talk about saving money all the time ,well what about our money ,shouldn"t that be considered too,theres nothing the check station does that we could not do, even clip on a metal transport tag.. and theres a lot of hunters do not even bother with checking them in anyway, so i say "lets have tele-checking" for 2008....turkey scout

Agreed turkeyscout. Jack, what can those of us who would like to see this do?

Especially when I went to a state check in station for my fall turkey and they looked at me like I was stupid. They didn't even know there was a fall turkey season, so I had to go just as far in the opposite direction to go to the other place that is a check station in my county. |

OK guys I may not be real bright BUT wouldn't it be much easier to keep track on a computer program?Also he was told it would cost one million dollars to implement this. I would have to think we already have the gurus who could set this up. I think my Rep has been fed a line of BS. |

Agreed raporter, that response makes absolutely no sense at all.

I bet if it was a private company wanting to implement this it wouldn't cost 1 million dollars to start up telecheck. Counties already have numbers assigned just like on your license plate and how hard is it to press 1 or 2 on the phone? We do it all the time. It would be a heck of a lot cheaper than the state's idea of supplying each license vendor with a computer and printer to sell a licenses when most people can do it at home. How much did that cost the DNR? h.h.

I think they used about $2-3,000,000 for the new point-of-sale system which includes the ability for us to print out our own.

Personally, I think the biologists are the ones who are probably the most vocal against the tele-check system. Without the check stations in place, they have no good way to age and check deer for disease en masse.
I see no problem with adding a tele-check *option* to our current system though, and wish they'd just hurry up and do it!
