I find it so funny Upstate that you started this link as a joke towards facebook and it has grown 329 pages long.....
OK, same here in NY, have 48 hours to call it in. The new decal system allows the ECO to scan the tag to see if it has been reported. Also have to have a written tag or the carcass tag with the meat in the freezer. No matter what system is used there are ways around it....until they get caught... We don't have to have the tag attached to the animal while dragging it out. But it has to be filled out. Indelibly... Has to be attaches as soon as a road is reached. Not legal to carry it in/on a vehicle while not tagged.
the law on reporting deer has changed upstate they now give the hunter 1 week to report a kill. i like this change because i have no phone service at my camp
