NRC gives final OK to ChecklN Game system
INDIANAPOLIS The Indiana Natural Resources Commission gave final approval (Nov. 20) to an electronic reporting system for hunters to check harvested whitetailed deer and wild turkey, a program that has operated cm a trial basis since April. Dubbed ChecklN Game (checklNgame.dnr.in.gov), the online system was used by approximately 2,000 hunters during the spring turkey season, and more than 11,600 used the online or phone-in options for die deer firearms season. Other final actions taken by the NRC during its bimonthly meeting at Fort Harrison State Park included adoption of a rule to allow three antlerless deer to be taken under the deer license bundle; a one-day extension of the fall archery season for wild turkey; and changes to commercial fishing activities, including the fishing guide license and roe harvester and roe dealer licenses. The NRC also gave preliminary adoption to rule changes that if granted final adoption will modify some hunting season dates for deer, as well as for pheasant, quail and rabbit.

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through our house, not a creature was stirring not even my spouse. He told me he'd help me and then pushed a button, which proved he'd just sit in his chair and do nothing. The stockings were hung by the chimney with wire, to keep them from falling where there should be fire. The kids were both snoring, all stuffed in their beds, while visions of video games bleeped through their heads. And I, while still wrapping, and him in the chair, he had just settled down, him neglecting his share, of the wrapping and taping and stuffing in Dags, then his voice from the office said, "1 could do tags." A miracle, some magic, an omen it was, for him to be helping through ESPN's buzz. That dumb DVR, how I wished it would clatter, to the floor for an evening (or more for that matter). The TV still on, and his butt still on perch, while mine, balanced over the paper would lurch, to cut a straight line, for the paper to fit, the present I hoped to wrap up in it. The piles of kids' gifts,. (How were there so many?), seemed not to deplete

and they didn't earn any. Those misbehaved offspring they hadn't a hint, that the money we'd spent would no doubt dent the Mint. While the fat man got credit and our cards were max'd out, the power of the fairy tale made me want to shout: 'There is no St. Nick; your dear Santa's a lie!" But they'd hate me for telling and then they would cry. So I cut and 1 ribboned, removed tags and placed taped, while my husband sat back, at the screen he just gaped. Not a gift came with batteries and the price tags I fought, to reinforce the belief, Santa's gift aren't bought. 1 looked up at the dock, NO! a quarter 'til two? My temper now riled, I threw at him a shoe. "Now help me! You'll wrap man. You know what to do!" He looked up at me mildly, like he hadn’t due, as to why 1 was fussy, it must be "THAT TIME," while 1 looked back and wondered how far he would flv, if I planted my foot hard, in his cushioned bum.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES WOUU): Move die starting date of deer archery season to Sept. 15 and make it illegal to use a crossbow from Sept. 15-30.

No, it wasn't too nice but it relieved me some. "Just do it! I need you!" 1 shouted and then, I recalled the strategy that gets through to men. "Please help me honey; if we hurry to be done, then we can get on to our own Christmas fun!" "I just takes so long to wrap all this alone." He looked back with eagerness, how his greedy smile shone! To my side he arrived, he placed gifts 'round the tree. He threw out all the trash, ripped off price tags with glee. In no time we finished, the work was now done and he gave me that look, (you all know the one). 1 thanked him for helping, and walked off to bea. He asked aloud, "How 'bout that thing that you said?" I smiled as I gave him the plate full of treats that the kids had so kindly left Santa to eat. "Honey here's your reward, for being so kind. Leave a thank-you from Santa too if you don't mind." He stared at me stunned and a little confused. "I think you've been naughty and I've just been used!" I replied, "So you have, but you've done what you should, to prove to dear Santa that you have been good."
