Default Back Tag Law

Well with the recent shooting of a PA hunter I was wondering what you think of this! I am all for the back tag law, we have it here in Wisconsin!

Vote and explain why you voted the way you did! What are your thoughts!

The back tag is your license that you wear on your back required by law. Its like 4 x 8 and has your DNR ID number on it in bold numbers for all to see!

We don't have a law like that here in in Illinois, but I don't see that it would matter when shotgunning. Do you have to wear one during archery also?

Wow that's a tough read...

Cha Vang was wearing one and thats how he was caught for the murder of 6 deerhunters in Northern Wisconsin! One of the wounded hunters scribbled his back tag number in the dirt on his 4 wheeler he was hiding behind as Vang walked off!
