I'd rather stick to the traditional waterproof tag. If they want mandatory harvest reports, they could make it to where you can't put in for next year's draw or buy a tag until you fill out the report. I had it in Nebraska this year, and they could use a few changes. I wasn't allowed to quarter or break the animal down until I called in into game and fish. What if I had been 3 miles back without reception? I don't like that aspect of it.

Not sure I'm a fan of "mobile tagging" and removing the requirement for a physical tag. Saskatchewan uses a "blank seal" system, where you order blank seals (tags) throughout the year and fill them out as you go. I can buy a tag, fill it out by pen and go hunting immediately after, no need to go in store or wait for the tag in the mail (which you can still opt to do).
We also have mandatory online reporting, usually asks you if you hunted, which zones, which weapon type, how many days, if you've harvested and when/with what, and your observation on herd numbers based on last year's if you hunted then. It takes me about 5 minutes to fill out ALL my surveys (5+ tags) once the season is over. Usually, you have until end-January to fill them out. The first year they sent you a warning if you didn't fill them out, and I believe you can't apply for draws or buy tags until you've filled them out, but I could be wrong. Mandatory reporting is pretty f'n basic and should be mandatory everywhere for big game.

Oregon only asks if you hunted, did you harvest,what unit, days hunted,antlerless or antlered and weapon used. For seasons ending in that year you have until 1/31 to submit the info. If you don't you're charged $25 on your next years application.
