RE: Illinois late season/CWD areas.
I believe the late season anterless only hunt was started to try to bring doe numbers down, at least that was the case down here in the southern part of the state. I do not believe they have ever found a case of CWD down here (I could be wrong). However, what i find funny is the fact that the harvest numbers that are coming in are way down from last year and I have been told by more than one CO that there were many more deer killed by blue tongue last year than what the state is leading on to. We all know this is a corrupt state that has little care for it's natural resources, so it does not suprise me that they just keep issuing tags without really knowing what is going on with the herd.
