Featured, Hunting, Illinois, National Hunting, National News, News /

It’s been three years since Illinois Conservation Police issued 29 citations and 22 written warnings to eight people – including a village mayor and a former Major League Baseball player – for alleged hunting violations on private property in rural Freeburg.
All but one of the men pleaded not guilty and requested jury trials in St. Clair County Circuit Court. But there have been no trials or plea agreements, only continuances granted every 90 or 120 days.

For five years now, from autumn into January, Wisconsin hunters have taken part in a celebration of antlerless deer hunting via the Cazenovia Doe Derby.
The premise is simple. Hunters who shoot a doe with any hunting tool can drop off the head for chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing at self-serve kiosks at the Duren Farm in Cazenovia, in La Valle, in Reedsburg, or at additional soon-to-be-announced locations.
