Illinois hunting distance from road
Title pretty much says it all. I'm looking at a new place for 2017 Illinois muzzleloader season. It's a strip of timber with a river. I'll have maybe 100-130 yards width from the county road to the river to hunt. It's a pretty good deer trail that follows through there. Does anyone know how far off the road you need to be to hunt? I'd like to set up a pop up ground blind but I'd like to make sure I'm off the road far enough to be legal.

This should answer your questions.

there's also a rule from distance from a residence I believe.

Or call the dnr warden in your area.

According to the regulation on pages 10-11 of the book as long as you are outside the highway right-of-way you are legal to hunt and it also says you must be no closer than 300 yards form a dwelling unless you are hunting with a bow or shotgun with shot shells.

There is no established distance from roads. Just can't hunt from the road/shoulder. Most important thing is that you don't shoot across the road or at any angle that will eventually intersect the road. Be safe.
