Learned something new today

[BCR3]

Some of you may already know this but I don't hunt much WMA and have never had it come up when I did. My older son got a ticket today for not having his gun in a case while driving out of a piece of WMA land this morning. Said he and his buddy had their guns in the back seat of the truck and unloaded when the DNR guy stopped them. Asked to see their guns and wrote them a ticket for not having them in a case. Said it was to prevent shooting birds from the truck. I'm not bitching, ignorance of the law isn't an excuse and the ticket was only $50 each. Honestly just had never heard of it and thought I would share it here for any of you that didn't know as well.
