Does your state require you check your bird?

VA you have to check them in via call in system.  with a bag limit of 3 in the spring if you did not take any in the fall.

In NY we have to call in or report them online.

SC done away with the check stations around 5 to 7 years ago.  You still have to tag them.  Going to the check station and telling and hearing stories from other hunters is not done anymore and it is a shame IMHO.

I am impressed by the states that require you to physically check your birds in. I know it can be a hassle but at least it does convey some type of accountability. We have a 3 bird limit which is very generous but it still gets abused beyond belief. I am sure that it goes on a lot more places than just here though.

I wish here in Ms. we did have some kind of Check in or taging system.

[Tomteaser]

We don't need to check birds in Michigan, we only get one tag though, which is bullsh*t!

[TRKYHTR]

CA doesn't even have tags for turkeys much less make you check your turkeys in. It's all on the honor system.

In NC we must notch the tag (we have two spring only tags) before removing the bird from the kill site.  Then you must call in for a registration number, which you write onto your tag - tag stays in your wallet, not on the bird.
