New Tag System what is stoping people from cheating

[russm]

I wonder how many people they catch driving around with last years spike fork rack...or 4pt rack??

lol, it's pretty easy to tell if a rack is fresh or a year old.

The rack could have been frozen with hair on it....or perhaps it's just the antlers with no skullcap. NO way to tell the difference.

When you start getting into pre meditated poaching like that- ensuring you have forzen last years rack to use to illegally kill stuff- then it doesn't really matter what type of tag system we use, or any other regulations for that matter.

DNA test will tell the diff pretty fast.

Not sure if BC is on that train yet (other then the CI's), but it's a pretty effective tool.

Always away to cheat if that is ones intent

issues with the new system in my opinion is it's less convenient for legal hunters then systems in place elsewhere

That's right, there are ways to circumvent the system and I imagine there are people that have no issue at all doing just that. It's just too bad the govt doesn't at least make a little effort to stop some of the easier cheats.
