in nj you get tags.. its an actualy tad you tie to the antlers and have to send it in to record your kill or at the end of the season return the empty tag.
What they need to do is keep some of the,or all of the WMA's locked up. I know a lot of deer get shot up around Richloam and Croom. I mean lots.
you mean like gates locked? most places do that.. poaching is a bad thing and is hard to controll.
I mean like locked gates,more patrols by FWC,and generally just keeping people out till a week before season to scout. I've been working out of town in Holopaw, Fl. south of St.Cloud and I have never seen so many large trophy buck deer walking around in bachleor groups,also large flocks of turkey and hogs everywhere. All on private property. I went to my club Sat and Sun morning and seen lots of deer,my buddy seen 4 bucks,just standing there looking at us. They are not bothered. Places like Richloam,Croom and otheres have people out driving around 24/7 and I know a guy who killed a giant 10 pt in Croom after season closed at night. I never seen the deer ,but I heard all about it.
I do like the idea of tags though. It may get a lot of the clutter out of the woods once they tag out.
