Like the game warden told me during hunter safety. " You will always have a twig and blood, No one cares about penmanship , just sign it!"

Spot on for what I knew as a younger man. Nowadays Iowa has a thing now where you have to fill in the harvest registration number on the tag too though. It’s obviously recorded in the system and I screenshot that I did it on my phone, I’m sure I’d be able to show that and be fine, but my dad was a hunter safety instructor and always taught me pretty by the book way of doing things in the field. I’ve also had nothing but positive experiences with game wardens and would prefer to keep it that way. Lol

Got a good pen you use? I know that’s an odd request but I’ll be darned if I don’t struggle to have a working pen in odd conditions.

Thankfully MN licenses are signed at the point of sale, and validated by notching the site tag with a knife. But for an excellent pocket pen, I've really come to appreciate Pokka Pens. https://pokkapens.com/pages/produkts Same size a a Fisher space pen, compatible with the Rite in the Rain notebooks I carry, and cheap enough that I don't feel bad when I loose one. Bought a few packs of blaze orange pens with Rite in the Rain branding at Academy a few years back.

Sharpen all knives, treat any early season clothes with permethrin. Buy a completely different climbing method or saddle that I don't need and will really screw up my first few hunts with the new learning curve. I know the last one doesn't make any sense, but I sure do it every year. This year I just bought the Half-line system from NY saddle hunter last week, last year it was the JX3.
