Illinois closing dates?

It looks like Jill will be having the baby this week for sure. The Dr said that if she doesn't have it naturally by Wednesday, they will mbe inducing her.

So, I have my 5th wheel still sitting down at the landowners and need to go get it sometime. Jill has said that it will be OK if I go down before the season ends to pick it up and hunt for a couple days. What a wonderful wife!

I just need to confirm when the season closes. Jan 17th? With the last 3 days (15-17th) we would have to wear orange?

Bill Brasky just may die yet this season......barring he hasn't shed by then! :D

 

In years past that late season is a gun only antlerless one.

 

Scott, here's a quote from the DNRs website....

 

Archery ends 1/17. Yes, you need to wear orange those last three days.

Learn how to read, cheesehead! :D

 

I know how to read tea bag! :D

I had someone telling me this morning that the NR season closes on Jan 9th and was making sure I didn't miss something.

 

Na.. your good for this year.

But I hear they are gonna close down the NR season entirely next year.. so that sucks for you.

 

Might save me 2 years in a row of embarassment.

 

Seriously? Or am I just gullible?

 

Serious. They're also talking about opening up the Edmonton bow zone to rifle hunters.

 

All that? Wether you're aware of it or not, there was actually talk about allowing the use of shotguns in the Bow Zone. Also, the Native Indians within the Bow Zone on reservation land can use any weapon.
