I never got to experience that here in Oklahoma, being a terrible hunter and all. lol
I miss the ones we had as a kids, they were open during the appropriate times and sold grape and peach Nehi lol. I don't miss them at all now up here. They closed at dark, and were closed on holidays.
The check stations were a big pain when you recovered a deer late in the evening and had a small drive to get to one. When you got home after no check station found to be open most hunters that butchered their own would just not check in. Especially when the next day was a work day or something. But for the most part I miss them too.
Boy I sure don't! Talk about a PITA trying to find one open. Or live in a county with only one station and have to drive 20 plus miles one way to check in a deer. Good riddance!
A couple times, I've had to drive to three check stations in Alfalfa county to find one open. I'm loving the online check in (and buying my licenses online too).
It was a ROYAL PITA if you got one down on Sunday evening and had to drive around Atoka county to find one open before driving 160 miles back to OKC because you had to work the next morning.
I loved them for the reasons stated above. People would bring out their family's to watch the deer come in. It was always exciting to see a pickup pull in with a lot of antler sticking out of the bed. Folks would come from all over the parking lot to see the biggun.
Yeah, it got to be a pain at times, but I do miss them for nostalgics sake.
