Illinois Officials Issue Correction on Wired Arrow Outdoors Charges

GW:  I didn’t want to believe the Sportsman Channel was associated in any way with these poachers, and now I don’t have to…

The Illinois Conservation Police has issued a correction regarding their media release on Wednesday, December 3 that ran as the Top Story in yesterday’s Outdoor Wire detailing more than 130 charges brought against a TV show, its owners, pro-staff and guests. The original report, however, misidentified an outdoor TV network that aired the television show “Wired Arrow”. The show did not air on the Sportsman Channel as was stated in the release.The Conservation Police correction goes on to make it clear that the Sportsman Channel was not implicated in any wrong-doing in the original media release. The Illinois Conservation Police correction also apologizes to Sportsman Channel for the error.

It wasn’t our error, but the mistake is so significant we felt the correction deserved the same exposure and emphasis as the original report.
