I Have never been checked but was talking to the guys that hunt the timber to the south of me and on Sat nov 18th 2nd day of IL shotgun season they were check he walked up to them while they were on the stand had them get out of the stand to check thier license and permits. On one hand i am glad they are checking but I also would not be very happy about them coming to my stand and ruining my hunting. I just do not understand why he did not wait by the truck for them to come out.
