Coyotes from treestand problems?
Awhile back I posted a possible " problem" with shooting coyotes from a treestand in Illinois. I contacted the Illinois DNR with my question and have finally received a response.
The bottom line is that it is illegal to take a furbearing mammal with a " tree climbing device" , and a climbing stand would fall into that catagory. Now, this was not the orginal intent of this law, but it does kinda fall into it.
I dont think MOST would have a problem with this situation, but just a word to the wise. I truly dont believe that a warden would write you up if this were to happen, but then again, you never know....
