In particular, take note of the comments after the story. Some of you non-residentsand outfitters may not like what you read (or even some residents), but i thought you might find what the average Illinois resident trulythinks about the current state of deer hunting in Illinois enlightening.Managing the Deer herd in Illinois is unlike probablyany other state in the country. The IDNR is slave to many masters and unfortunately resident huntersand wildlife biologists are somewhere down the list of opinions that matter. Hopefully, residents will make a point to get to these meetings, if possible,and make their voices heard and just as importantly, the IDNR will listen. There are no easy answers, but it is clear Illinois residents think that things have got to change.
