I cannot provide a linkable cite, I am basing my statements from the typical behavior witnesses by me of our local DNR wardens, and verbal conversations with them and myself along withothers.
I friend of mine who immigrated here from the peoples republic of Ill-Annoy had a situation while gathering firewood on state land with the proper permits.
He had a run-in with an irate local that threatened him with a chainsaw. He spoke of this and asked a superior at the local DNR station aboutthe legality ofhim carrying a firearm for defensive purposes, the warden clearly stated he would be cited for hunting without a license even if he had the gun fully holstered. I showed him proof otherwise, and offered to accompany him while armed thenext time he goes out for wood. I basically dare a DNR warden to wrongfully cite me for exercising my 2A rights in this state.
All I am stating is that a citation may be receieved from a warden, I know carrying a firearm is legal, the police know it is legal, we all know it is legal.
But the DNR with their holier than thou attitude may cite someone wrongfully just to throw their weight around or a warden may have a dislike of someone exercising their rights just as what happened with the instructor in the west side of the state teaching his students that they have rights and the DNR does not have authority to disarm for any reason.
The WIDNR has the attitude that all lakes and land in the state belongs to them, instead of the public as a whole. They commonly run outside of what is considered current law and very few people try to fight them on it. Things have improved since Tom Kroeplin has been seperated from the DNR, but not as much as it should.

I can't see why the DNR would have any more reason to suspect one is hunting illegally simply because one is armed, than they would to suspect that a person is robbing an establishment because they walk past it while armed. Can anyone point to an actual example where one was charged or convicted of illegal hunting without there being something else to corroborate the charge, e.g., an animal carcass?
