Illinois CPOs have already reported two hunting-related fatalities related to treestands during the 2023 deer season.
One fatality occurred when a hunter fell 15 feet from a ladder stand. The second involved a hunter who was found deceased at the base of his stand. The cause of death has not been reported, but the hunter had been reported missing for several hours.
