SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — More than 155,000 deer were harvested by Illinois hunters during the 2015-2016 deer hunting seasons.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says about 155,130 deer were harvested this year, compared to 145,720 deer last year.
Hunters took about 56,730 deer during the archery season from Oct. 1 to Jan. 17. Young hunters harvested about 2,840 deer during the youth season from Oct. 10 to 12.

So tell me again Govenor Bruce Rauner , why have you green-lighted the killing and trapping of your recovering Bobcat population(perhaps 5000 animals) when they and Coyotes(estimated 30,000 animals) are obviously not denting Deer populations?.........Your 2015 deer hunt only took out 155,000(145,000 in 2014)----23%-- of the 675,000 deer that are chewing up your woodlands and prairie .............You have an abundance of deer with a need for plenty more Bobcats and Coyotes so as to help your land regenerate in an optimum fashion..............Capisce?????????
