RE: Coyotes from treestand problems?
IL sure does have some ridiculous laws. My grandpa has a pond with a lot of catfish in it so I decided to bowfish them. A friend of mine told me that it was illegal. I sent an e-mail to the DNR and they said it was illegal to shoot catfish out of any private pond. I know catfish aren' t a legal species, but I thought that referred to public water. I think if you dig a pond and pay to have it stocked then you ought to be able to do whatever you want with the fish. I can believe the state even thinks they have jurisdiction over private farm ponds. So many of the laws are wrote to be interpreted one way, but can also be other ways. It really gets things messed up.
