Forgetting to Report

[Nytracker]

Neighbor  shot a deer opening day dropped it off for processing.  Hopped a plane for anniversary  trip next day . Brother picked up meat . Guy gets home doesn't think a thing about . A few months later dec is knocking  at the door. Tells him he is subject to a fine for not reporting. Let him report late . They do check I. Guess if they want to they can come after you.

Maybe fines would make people think twice about not reporting.  Put into a fund to employ more government. More revenue for the state to waste.

I didn't report  for years because I would forget. Then I would remember after the fact . After my neighbors incident  I report in 24 hours or so. I do it on the phone. System can be a pain when using some of the town names. The way the local town names are pronounced  verses their voice recognition.

I’ve also noticed if you say the name of a village or hamlet within a town it reverts back to the larger town which I guess is ok

If you want to know what happens to non-reporters in prison just watch a couple seasons of Oz on HBO

if you report late though they've got you. then your like that poor guy Juice from Sons of Anarchy when he went to prison.

He did get to finish his pie!!!

I would take my chance in court. An honest judge is going to look at merit of reporting late  rather than not reporting. I would make the officer look like a money grubbing douche with no heart. A mistake is just that. Honestly l understand it's a tool to try to manage the deer herd. But I personally think it's an over  reach to fine on first defined offence rather.than a written and documented  warning.

IRC, when reporting a harvest online the DEC already has your tag #s you purchased displayed. Maybe not..!?! All this reporting is for is so the DEC can compile data for the annual harvest report.

With only ~45% of hunter actually reporting harvests, you're in the majority at least!! Meaning-  you'd have a lot of common jailhouse conversations if every un-reported harvest were prosecuted.

 

you're correct about the online reporting. Much easier than the painful phone system. As far as reporting goes, I've always reported, my question was more geared around the fact that I forgot to report within the 7 day window and by reporting late, "technically" i'm knowingly committing a violation. But as many others have said, I'm now convinced it's still the right thing to do.

Coworker shot a nice buck a couple of years ago and dropped it off unreported at his taxidermist. Almost a year later got a call from an Encon officer who then met him at his house to give him his ticket. Encon officer was at the taxi shop checking tags from the previous year's season. I forgot what the fine was, maybe $200?

report it, You are fine being late. They just want the data. For those that don't report you should be aware that they routinely surf social media pages looking for information on harvests and  cross reference back to the reporting. I know a guy that got pinched that way.

i'm glad to see more and more of these stories. Seems that many hunt for less than the right reasons, and "bragging" being one of their biggest motivators. I decided after last year that I was done with posting deer pics on social media and the net. Just seems that there are no benefits to it and only potential negatives.

If I report that I didn't score this year will everybody here throw me a Pity Party ?  

[ny hunter]

CT has a good system. You call deer in first, get a confirmation # and put that # on your tag.

Do you hunt CT? Worth it in terms of opportunity for a public land hunter? Always wondered as I pretty much live on the border.

Ive hunted near Cornwall Bridge on stateland. Frankly I see more deer there then here where I am in Dutchess and its closer then driving into Catskills for me.

Didn't go this year but had a job over there last year and went several times and learned a bit about the property; enough to see some deer but just couldn't get a shot lane clear.(bow)

I like that unless you are in an area where you can't get cell service.

Thanks. Not too far away from me. May give it a look next year.

Do it on the app or on your computer....super easy and quick.

Ive done it upwards of 2 weeks afterwards, no issues.

24 hours. I remember you print tags yourself, so I printed a few and kept them in different spots so I knew I’d always have one on me.
