wow within 24 hours, that sure can change any plans you have. here in wisconsin you can check them in any time durring the season and then they give you 24 hours after the season closes to do so. so with the opener being tomarrow november 22nd here and it closing on the 30th someone could harvest a deer tomarrow morning and they have until like 4 pm december 1st to check it in.
