FIREARM QUESTION FOR ILLINOIS HUNTERS?

[BOWHUNTERCOP]

FIREARM HUNTING FOR DEER IN YOUR STATE IS WITH SHOTGUN, MUZZLELOADER, AND HANDGUN IS THIS CORRECT?

REASON I' M ASKING IS THAT I JUST GOT DONE WATCHING THE TV SHOW " HUNTERS JOURNAL" ON THE OUTDOOR CHANNEL THEY WERE HUNTING IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AT " SAMSON RIDGE" ALL THE HUNTERS WERE SHOOTING CENTERFIRE RIFLES. ANY IDEAS ABOUT WHY THEY COULD USE CENTERFIRE FIREARMS?

[JRW]

Simple answer: Sampson' s Ridge is a high-fenced deer farm shooting preserve. Since the deer on the property, by law, aren' t wildlife, but rather " farm animals" , they can kill them pretty much however they see fit. Sad really.

That is correct-- exceptions as noted by JRW.
