RE: IDNR ARCHERY DEER CHECKINS FOR 2002
Il-Bow-Man We do have a check station locally at Hunters Haven in champaign next to urbana, I was thinking with the increased non resident hunting fee there would be a new source of income for the IDNR to use, But i dont know how they use there money or how it is dispersed to the various Depts. As i have previously posted i stand in opposition to this change in checkins.My husband brought up an interesting point last night he said he cant wait to see the harvest results at the end of the next deer archery season, he said he would bet me that the harvest results will be down if this change is put into effect( people not calling in thier deer) But how can you get a true reading by the report it can be due to fewer deer harvested or people not calling in there deer?Fewer deer called in would mean fewer tags being sold which would mean less money for the IDNR.
