But before anything, cellphones are taken out. Not to take photos, but to check in. Check in? Each hunter accesses the link and enters their iSportsman IDs and password/PIN. Then each selects the “General Area” where they will hunt in a few moments. The type of “Activity” is selected, “Upland Bird Hunting.” Finally, a notification pops up stating that hunters must check out by a certain time. The acceptance button is struck and hunters and dogs enter into the field. Both hunters cross their fingers in the hopes that at the end of the day, they will be checking the game harvested box and how many birds each shot.
