Conservation cops in illinois have only 3 agendas. Most conservation cops there probably have no clue prospecting is off limits as theyre more focused on busting teenager drinking or smoking, fishing licenses, and poaching.
Not saying it isnt unlawful, just that prospecting is so extremely uncommon that its probably the dustiest statute in the rule book.

I get bothered less when out prospecting than I do when fishing.
