Forgetting to Report

[Five Seasons]

So lets say someone was busy and forgot to report their harvest within 7 days, but knows this information is valuable to the state and wants to report it.

What is one to do?

[The_Real_TCIII]

ive done them weeks later, never been an issue

[The_Real_TCIII]

In fact I did my 11/2 doe on 11/16 with the archery buck

[ApexerER]

Crap, I actually forgot about my crossbow doe and I need to call in the buck. Thanks for the reminder. I too have forgotten about calling before and have reported way late. They just say thanks for calling.....

I think the DEC is going to happy to see you reported it.  Heck, if you butcher your own, report it whenever with a fictional harvest date.

I do them online FWIW

[grampy]

Better late than not at all.  I have not heard of any problems with late reports.

Did mine online for the first time last week. So easy.

ha not a bad idea i guess. There's something about knowingly, technically violating a rule lol.

Report as regular season with a date of 9/27. Distract them from the fact that its late

[Larry]

just report it

just did it. no police yet haha. It's actually pretty easy to just login and then click the tag you're reporting. A little interesting that there's a banner on the front page that warns of a $250 fine for failure to report. I think I have a deer from a few years ago that i forgot lol.

Cripes I wonder if we could potentially get a fine via mail? That would dissuade me from ever reporting again

I think the dates on the tag, need to match up with the report?  If for any reason, they should check. (highly unlikely)

You can also do it on the app, I did that last year but havent loaded it on my new phone

sort of the reason for this thread. So some of the posts eased my fear, but maybe they're just messing with me because i live in dicksville?

I think they put a time limit on it to try to ensure that you don't ignore reporting completely. Of course they want the report in time to be useful in this years data, but I think they are thankful that you produce the data before the end of the computation period.

Reported both of mine late this season.  So far, no... wait, what are those black limos doing out front...?

I wouldnt rule it out

[BowmanMike]

i am an expert in late reporting,self proclaimed mind you. Have not had an issue yet,and i am going to try it out again today since i forgot to report my doe from 8 days ago. 

Better late than never,could be a life motto. And how come you moved to dicksville? I hear it isnt a great place to live,haha.

[Rebel Darling]

I report on my phone w/ DEC's HuntFish App.  Super easy, and works offline, in that it'll report once connected to a network. 

Works across operating systems (iPhone, Android, etc.):

Hope this helps some of ya.

Oh man I cant believe you all report late and chance it like that. I report it as soon as I fill the tag out. Wouldn't want to get in trouble! 

Kidding I'm like all y'all slackers and have a tendency to report it late. This year was only 3 days after so that's a win!

10 on-line lashes for you, plus a letter in your file....

[Robhuntandfish]

Brings up a question..... how long do you keep your filled tags? 

[NFA-ADK]

Report it, better off late than never.  You have 7 days.  Usually this is one of the first things I do when I get out of the woods if possible.  I figure if I get pulled over on the way home it looks better if that part is done.
