RE: Shoot deer a 1/2 hour later in IL.....
My thoughts on this new law.
It will now make some people that where breaking the law legal. Every year you hear people shoot after sunset.
It will help harvest more deer im sure.
Theres no way in hell if Im hunting public land im staying until dark without knowing whos out there holding a gun. Ivemet too many people I would not trust once darkness falls.
On another note.
Anyone over the age of 62 can now use a crossbow during archery season in place of their regular bow (if they wish)

Bowhuntercop, this is just a change in the time for gun hunting. Bow hunting has always (as long as I remember) been 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset.
