It seems like every other week, or day, there is another reported story of wildlife being illegally taken in Montana. Despite the open landscape and abundant wildlife, there are rules to our wild-west civilization.

The head is operated by a state employee with a remote hiding in the woods. Check out this video from Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources:
