Ralph Loos: Illinois deer hunters still waiting for last year’s harvest report with new season looming
Illinois bowhunters are only a couple weeks away from beginning a brand new deer season with absolutely no idea how last season turned out, even though it’s been 249 days – roughly 5,976 hours, give or take – since the last arrow was knocked and released.
It doesn’t get any more Illinois than that. Nobody has ever fully explained how DNR’s system of tracking the state’s deer harvest went awry, but as recently as a few years ago, anyone with a hankering for a hunk of harvest could go to the DNR website and learn exactly how many deer had been taken at any point in the season.
Could Illinois bowhunters flirt with record harvest mark this season?
More than nine months after it ended, the Illinois DNR has yet to release harvest totals from the 2023-24 archery deer season.
But the somewhat mysterious lack of numbers coming out of Springfield isn’t affecting anticipation for the Oct. 1 opener of a new season. More concerning to hunters are reports of dead deer being found in woods, fields, and ponds as late summer winds down, evidence that epizootic hemorrhagic disease outbreaks in neighboring Indiana and Michigan have also hit here.
