Hunters checking in deer during November firearm season
in 2014 encountered an entirely new electronic check-in
system. Using bar-code scanners, Game and Parks staff
read information from hunters' permits into the new online
check-in. Staff then entered the deer's age, gender, species,
location of kill and other data right into the online database.
This new technology streamlines information gathered about
deer harvest and eliminates the need to enter hand-written
records, saving valuable time. Because the information is
entered electronically, biologists have access to real-time
data. Staff are now able to process and analyze data much
sooner than previous years, and start working on next year's
recommendations.
