Default Has anyone ever noticed.....

.......Game code violations while watching a hunting show? In the last several weeks, I've noticed 3 different violations while watching hunting shows that were filmed in Illinois.2 were hunters that were gun hunting without an Orange hat on. Both were in Blinds, but Illinois law is clear that you must wear a Hat and upper body garment of at least 400 square inches of blaze orangeat all times while in the field gun hunting. After the recovery, while filming the "grip and grin" segment, both hunters had their hat's on all of a sudden, but not when they made the shot. In another show, an archery hunter harvests a Buck, makes the recovery, does the "grip and grin"and loads the buck in a truck, all without the deer being tagged. Again, Illinois law is clear that a deer must be tagged immediately after the recovery. They showed this deer after they got it back to camp and it was tagged by then, but it should have never made it into the truck without being tagged. While these are hardly egregious violations, i was just wondering if anyone else has ever noticed little things like this while watching hunting shows? It should be noted that all 3 hunters were non-residents and probably just got caught up in the excitement of the moment, but technically all were in violation of the law and could have gotten a ticket if a hard nosed CPO would have seen the violatons.
