Title: Successful Hunter Patch
Post by: VicNova on December 15, 2012, 01:24:59 pm

In Michigan we have deer cooperation patches. If you shoot a deer and bring it in to a check station, you get a collectible patch. Does anyone in different states have something like this? If anyone has a collection of patches, please show them off. I am currently working on mine.  :laugh:

We don't have any in Ohio either.  Not that I'd earn many if we did... ;). That's a cool program.

Nice patches...  We have alsways gotten pins.  The all green ones are for bow, the others are for gun.   These are some I had in my gun closet.

Love the patch/pin idea.  I'd even happily pay a couple bucks for the patch. 

This is a great idea to encourage people to bring their deer to the check stations.  Data collected at the check stations is pretty handy for the biologists trying to understand the herd conditions and such.

Nothing like that in Missouri.  We even did away with check stations.
