DNR Releases Deer Harvest Totals for 2020

Share

The deer harvest totals are in for the 2020 hunting season and one area saw a huge increase.

Department of Natural Resources Deputy Director Rachel Torbert indicates the archery deer season blew right past a record that was set last year and now they will begin exploring why that was the case.

A change in Illinois now allows crossbows to be used during the archery deer season, a positive change for hunters that could not handle the size of traditional archery equipment. Torbert say the increase in deer harvest may not just be due to the allowance of crossbows but also the rebound of the deer population from the 2012-13 EHD epidemic is now starting to return closer to normal.
