Illinois regained its Top 5 ranking as a bowhunting harvesting state, at least according the National Deer Association’s annual Deer Report.

In the 2024 report, the NDA looked at the 2020, 2021 and 2022 deer seasons to rank states based on the highest percentage of deer harvested with archery equipment. New Jersey was tops at 65%, with Connecticut (47%), Ohio (47%) and Massachusetts (46%) following behind.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has wrapped up data collection from the open-water portion of its new creel survey, and the data show good catch rates for lake trout and black bass, similar trends to angler diary reports from past years.
