If only because the weather was too nice all three days, I’m a little surprised that preliminary harvest figures for the first part of Illinois’ firearm deer season are up slightly from last year.
I don’t remember a first part of firearm season that was so nice for all three days as it was this year. I also wondered if certain single-shot rifles being allowed would make a difference. Not sure if a change of less than 1,000 means anything significant statistically.
