For the restricted zones in IL, theres changes there now that can be read on the IL DNR site. Not sure if you all knew or not but i see you talking about the restrictions. Heres what has been changed there:

• Restricted Archery Deer Hunting Zone: Regulations changes for archery deer hunting include an easing of the October hunting restrictions in the state’s Restricted Archery Zone in Champaign, DeWitt, Macon, Moultrie and Piatt counties. Archery hunters in the five-county zone have been limited to taking two deer per season and could harvest only antlered deer from Oct. 1-31. The new regulations will remove the two-deer bag limit and will reduce the antlered-only restriction to 15 days. The archery harvest restrictions in place since 1999 in the zone have been working in terms of restoring the deer population in those counties. Department wildlife managers will continue to monitor the deer population in the five counties in hopes of removing the restrictions altogether during the next few years.
