Hunting Deer With Rifle In Illinois

Just finished watching one of those hunting flicks on Versus channel. It showed a fellow during 2007 hunting deer with a bolt action rifle in Hamilton County, Illinois. He stated it was December 21.
Checking last year's permit I see that was not during season. We also cannot hunt deer with a center-fire rifle anyway. And to top that, he was wearing camo where he was supposed to be wearing a cap and upper garment of solid blaze orange. Would you call that poaching? Or are there certain people that can hunt how/when they want? Maybe we all should grab a camera and go poach us a deer. What gives?

More than likely hunting a high fenced private area. Build your fence, remove all "wild" deer and restock with purchased animals.
