It's a shame there are so many bad apples. The local game warden here in Madison county, IL is really nice, he was hanging out in a wal-mart here and talking to the people who were in the hunting section. He was willing to answer any question, and gave out his business card to any one who wanted it so we could contact him with any questions. He took time to explain why Illinois doesn't allow baiting, showed us how they test for the presence of bait and talked a little bit about some new cases of CWD in northern IL.

Then there is the game warden from were we hunt. He just retired but the guy was a prick. He knew that even if the charges didn't stick he could ruin your shotgun season by writing you up and taking your permit since you would have to go to court to get it thrown out, and shotgun season would be long over. He did this a few times, glad he is gone, hopefully the new guys is nice.
