The Southern Illinoisan reports a winter arrest spree where over 300 waterfowl hunters were cited under an old baiting law in Southern Illinois. Out of state visitors and first time Canada goose hunters faced charges, prompting tourism image concerns and questions about the law’s clarity and entrapment risks.
The piece argues the baiting provision of migratory waterfowl laws is archaic and prone to entrap innocent hunters. It cites Southern Illinois arrests, calls for law revision, and notes officials say enforcement has been unfair and misused. Congressman Gray and U.S. Attorney Schwarz advocate changes.
Illinois announces shotgun deer hunting for 55 500 hunters across 87 counties, with bow season open statewide.

County permit allocations listed. 1972 shotgun harvest was 10 284.
Deon Eaton, press room foreman for The Suthern Illinoisan, ventured into outdoor writer Art Reid's baliwick and caught a stringer of bass at Crab Orchard Lake. The bass weighed 7 62 22 and 2 pounds. Eaton used a black plastic worm.
