Anti hunters hit Giant City State park in Illinois during shotgun season.
I was talking to one of my Deputy roadies downstate last night and he told me that his dad had ran into a group of Anti-hunters in Giant City state park this past first season of our firearm season. He said that he was a really good distance, how far, who knows, from the parking lot andbegan to hear footsteps approaching. He gets his weapon ready to only see a set of dogs with blazeorange vests on!!!! Then come a few more after that. Only to be followed in a few minutes by a group of people wearin blaze orange, talking very loudly and spraying perfume and things as they walked!!!!!! They saw him in the stand, waved at him, told him they hope he falls out of the tree and then sprayed perfume all around and left!!!!! He leaves, goes back to his truck. Calls the DNR. They send out somebody. He tells them what happened. Individual states that being its a public park, wearing the required blaze orange, there is nthing he can do about it!!! I told my buddy that there is a law in Illinois that does not allow hunter harassment and it sounds more like he just didn't want to do anything about it. He called the CPO's and they said they had complaints, just no names or vehicle discrpt's yet to work with. They were more than likely dropped off and then picked back up to prevent this.
