For those who have harvested a deer this year, did you use the Automated Game Check System, aka Telecheck?

Not a deer, but I was with Larry when he checked in his turkey and it was a good 15 min. I would expect a long wait.
We checked Kate's deer in using the telecheck system on the way to the processor last night. Very simple. Takes around 10 minutes.

If I go to a check station are all of these automated? Do they have a computer to check in your deer?
The clerks have to check it in for you and they should have the same options as you. At least that's what I was told. I haven't done it myself yet.
When I tagged my spring bird in at the local checking station is was by far more of a hassle then when we did my moms online. The online process was very simple from what I remember.

Haven't for deer but did for my spring bird. Smooth easy process. Then again I have used it for PA and NY so nothing new.
I thought the online check in was fast, done in about 5-10mins. Same thing as physical check ins, write confirmation # on tag and print receipt.
I came home after shooting my buck and tried the online version. It was easy and quick. Done in about 5 minutes.
I think it sucks ass and it pisses me off to no end. For one, my collection of metal tags is now done growing. I miss going to the check in station to BS and see what gets brought it. It robs the whole experience of a vital part IMO. I'm a self-proclaimed "high-tech Redneck" and I still hate it...
My thoughts, exactly. The metal tag collection was a trophy display, just as much as heads on the wall. No way in hell I'm keeping a collection of paper slips... fugg that. I like the fact that checking deer in is easier now, but I hate not receiving a metal tag.

I love it..quick and easy. I did both my spring birds online and also both my does from Saturday. The does I did on my smartphone and did em both in less than ten minutes total...way better than going to a check station and dealing with all the BS. As far as metal tags I have a fair amount laying around if anyone wants to "collect " them.
