That the length of the Late-Winter Deer Season be extended from three to nine days.
That the length of the first segment of the regular Firearm Deer Season be extended from three to four days, beginning on a Friday and ending on a Monday.
9 days for the late season seems extreme. Mid-January is a terrible time to have the late season hunt anyway......too many bucks killed that have lost antlers.
I have no problem with a four day first gun season, it will have minimal effect.
The biggest effect Illinois could have on deer populations is to enhance hunting opportunities on private land. Nothing was proposed. Oh they talked about it, but thats it.
One last thing.........its not over yet. This year they will be discussing simplying obtaining nuisance deer permits including using them in the non-hunting season.[:@]
