RE: When did deer hunting start in IL?
In 1957 (the 1st year) I missed 2 Bucks & 2 does. In 1958 I arrowed my 1st-a Doe at 35 yards with a Eddings Recurve & home made wood arrow, 4 fletch tipped with MA3 blade. Source- I was there.
Am I still bowhunting-yes-I arrowed 4 Biggame animals this year & hunted 4 states. I have only Bowhunted all game in the past 45 years & love it..
always thankful
