Illinois Hunters
I know that I read somewhere that salt/mineral blocks are illegal in Illinois but just wanted to make sure. So im asking you Illinois hunters, and if they are does anyone have an alternative that is legal?
Thanks |
RE: Illinois Hunters
You can use salt or minerals, you just have to remove them a certain number of days before hunting season.

RE: Illinois Hunters
I found this in the Illinois Hunting/Trapping Regulation Guide. Am I reading something wrong or is there another thing in the guide that says we can use them? I hate not being able to put salt blocks down.
Feeding Wildlife It is unlawful to make available food, salt, mineral blocks or other products for ingestion by wild deer or other wildlife in areas where wild deer are present. Except: elevated bird/squirrel feeders providing seed, grain, fruit, worms, or suet for birds or squirrels located within 100 feet of a dwelling devoted to human occupancy. incidental feeding of wildlife within active livestock operations. feeding of wild animals, other than wild deer, by hand as long as a reasonable attempt is made to clean up unconsumed food. feeders for wildlife other than deer so long as deer are excluded from the feed in and around the feeder by fencing or other barriers. standing crops planted and left standing as food plots for wildlife. grain or other feed scattered or distributed solely as a result of normal agricultural, gardening, or soil stabilization practices. standing, flooded, or manipulated natural vegetation or food/seed deposited by natural vegetation. grain or other feed distributed or scattered solely as the result of manipulation of an agricultural crop or other feed on the land where grown, for purposes of dove hunting. food material placed for capturing or killing wildlife pursuant to 520 ILCS 5/2.37, 2.30, and 1.3. scientific permits issued pursuant to 17 Ill. Adm. Code 520 that allow food to attract wildlife. any other permits issued by the Department of Natural Resources that require the attraction of wildlife for purposes of management, research or control.

ORIGINAL: solocamcan You can use salt or minerals, you just have to remove them a certain number of days before hunting season. The new law was added to protect our animals against this horrible disease. It's certainly not something Illinosi sportsman want to see sweep through the state. I believe there is still much confusion regarding this law because there are numerous stores in the state that still regularly sell mineral blocks and other supplements aimed at deer. Unfortunately it's not illegal for these stores to sell these items, yet it ISillegal for YOU to use them! |
