They're saying healthy herds are under 20 deer/sq.mi., and some areas have 150 deer/sq.mi.!!!!???? what???

I think most counties in IL are under 10 deer/sq.mi.

Open it up to bow!!!

It's crazy to me that this hasn't already been the case, too many hunters, not enough public land. On top of that, most people who hike etc...aren't walking through the woods in OCT-Jan here in IL. Either way a bow hunter better know a human vs. a deer at 30yds!

Maybe deer leases would drop in cost $$ if all these chicago hunters could stay local and hunt?
