This is not meant toward the decent firearms hunters out there, but posts such as these is just another reason I don't hunt deer with a firearm. Illinois has a 7 day firearm season, 3 day muzzleloader season and a rediculous 3 day antlerless only firearm season in mid-January. Even though rifles are not allowed, there are just too many uneducated, unethical people running around in those seasons. I've seen parents allow their kids to ride ATV's on opening morning hunts, guys wading through very thick bedding areas trying to push deer onto their property, and guys taking 200 yard shots with slug guns! Most of all........trespassing.

I'll take bowhunting anyday.
