​Firearm Deer Hunting Season Preliminary Harvest Totals Down from Last Year in IL

Share

Harvest totals were down this year for the annual firearm deer hunting season. Hunters took 71 thousand 675 deer over the two weekends of firearm season in Illinois. That compares to more than 77 thousand deer harvested last year. State Department of Natural Resources Spokesperson Tim Schweizer looks ahead:

“The seven-day firearm season is done, but we still have some deer hunting opportunities left this fall and early winter. We encourage hunters if they haven’t been out, to give it a thought.”

The muzzleloader-only deer season is this weekend and archery season continues through January 16th. You can find more dates and other information online at: http://huntillinois.org.
