The IDNR reminds hunters that the manipulation, including mowing or tilling, of unharvested crop fields is not a normal agricultural practice for waterfowl hunting purposes. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports federal baiting laws still apply, even during times of drought. It is a violation of the baiting laws under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act if scattered grain is not totally removed 10 days prior to hunting. | | | | Date Created: | 09 04 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | 981**12 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000044861 Original UID: 24337 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |
