WOW I know right where this place is!! I can look out just about any window of my house and look at the property. Beautiful old stripper hills and pits. Maybe some day it will become part of Hillenbrand FWA and we can all enjoy it.

Shoddy work by the CO's - misdemeanors of little or no consequence when it comes to fines or suspensions.

Shoddy work by the CO's - misdemeanors of little or no consequence when it comes to fines or suspensions. Poor support from the legislators. IIRC no State game violation is a felony, only Federal. If we want to have a serious deterrent to things like this then there needs to be severe mandatory punishments just like there needs to be for other crimes. Leaving the punishment decision up to a Judge that is trying to keep good graces with the people for re-election and dealing with an over crowded money sucking prison system is killing this Country.

As much as I dislike hauling a deer that I harvested on my property to a check station I fear for what might happen if the state goes to a telecheck system.

Tele check is the future! The deer can be checked instantly without the useless hauling around to a check station. The truth of the matter is that the check station does not look at the deer, some must have comprehension difficulties to think illegal taking of game will increase with tele check.

We are talking about killing animals here, not humans. The above infractions are equal to a speeding ticket as they should be. Serious deterrents would be monetary in nature not putting someone behind bars.

All you guys that are saying they don't even look at the deer must not be from the northern part of the state. I have been checking in deer every year since it was required. There has always been someone from the check station tag them.

There has always been someone from the check station tag them. Go to Pine Village then-I have never seen anyone outside of the store in any kind of "official" capacity. The year before the guy sitting on his butt at the "check-in" table almost wouldn't accept my online license because it wasn't printed in black and white (my ink cartridge was low on black so it was more purple)- he couldn't see it very well through the cigarette smoke and low lights...didn't help much either that I think he was half deaf and the pool players were getting rowdy. Heck most every other check in station I've been to at least has some way of weighing your deer but not at PV!!!! Maybe they just want to brag about how big the deer is and still not lie...

I cant remember in 25 years someone ever putting a tag on my deer at the check station. They hand you the tag, and you put it on yourself. I am in Southern part of state.

There has always been someone from the check station tag them. Depends on the shop. Im maybe 30 miles south of you, Schall. Many of the deer check stations here closed their doors to such. Closest one I have to me, they dont even have a window facing where there deer being checked in is, let alone come out. I did when I had my check station but it DID get to be a PIA while trying to butcher deer too. I finally hired someone to do nothing but check in deer. I see there is another in Rochester I havent been to yet so cant say for them. The places like mine with a scale are long gone. God Bless

It might be a local CO enforcement thing. I have been to 4 different check stations in St. Joseph co. over the years and every one of them tagged the deer.

I goto DC Meats and check them in usually. The owner there puts the tag on himself. One time he wasn't open and I wanted to clean he deer so I ended up driving all the way out on SR23 to the other closest check station that was open. I'm glad that I did, but I strongly considered just not checking it in... Gas is expensive anymore.

What does a car thief get?

Mandatory sentencing has done nothing to deter crime. It has only served to place minor offenders into a screwed up system in which they become a dependent of the state and your tax dollars, even after their release. Yep, just what we need. Let's screw up more people's tax paying career. Then we can have more freeloaders on our tax dollars just so a few can have their jollies and a few more feel minutely safer in an already predominately safe society. Sounds like a great plan to me, where do I sign?? ;D

I remember a time when the check station I used to go to said that they were required to affix the tag themselves and then they quit doing it. I now go to a closer check station that opened up and they don't even go out to look at the deer unless you tell them it is a nice one. I can't find anywhere that mandates the check station attendant has to affix the tag.

I think there was a time when the check station attendant was required to affix the tag and I seem to remember a time when it was in the regs. I haven't had an attendant actually affix the tags for years.
Anyone else remember when it was in the regs that they must affix the tag or am I crazy?
