Done! I do hope they read our comments and take them into consideration, but Farm Bureau and insurance groups have a mighty strong say into what is actually done in Illinois.
I filled out the survey also. I don't know if they wanted to hear from non-residents but filled it out anyway.

dun. boy did that feel good to give my opinion on that...i'm sure they will get a kick out of reading mine.
i recommend moving the gun opener to start the first weekend in dec and the second season the second weekend. thrid weekend muzzleloader and the lateseason normal. that will accomplish the goal of killing pregant does but won't allow the guns hunters to mess up the rut. extending the late season isn't the answer. to cold for most guys and to many buck dropped antlers.

It seems everyone who is posting is from illinois. I live in Arkansas and have been coming to illinios for the last 20 years. The tags have increased so much I can's afford to bow hunt and gun hunt, I have to pick which I will do. I would bet they have ran off alot out of state hunters with the price of the tags.The dnr is making a mistake if they change anything, Illinois is the best place in the nation to hunt.
