Today is opening day in Illinois. Wife is out in the nest waiting right now. I have to get grandchild from school or I would give it a go.

with millions of acres in 200 bushel/acre corn do you actually think a puny 55 gallon drum of corn will do anything? thats funny. FYI baiting during season has never been legal. any feeders must be removed 10 days prior of season. and that would be archery season Oct 1.
Shot 2 large Deer this year NEAR the corn piles. I sure hope that pisses some folks off. I will be eating fine for the next 2 years since my freezers are full of venison. BTW.. I plan on assassinating more for folks that need meat.
thats a sign that the budget for your F&W people has been cut and there's not money to man the check stations.
...never had any check stations...just trying to come up to Texas Standards...Who has the best whitetail population next to 'Bama!
I have lobbied many years for a limit on bucks...
I didn't know the limit had been changed, but it makes sense. As far back as the 1960s I remember the limit was a buck a day for the duration of the season and that didn't seem to reduce the overpopulation of deer.
The object of limits should be to keep the deer population within what the state can support while maintaining a healthy herd and not a hazard to the public. It appears in most states limits are used as a revenue source.
Mother Nature has her own way of controlling deer population. When the population gets too large some disease nobody has ever heard of pops up and there is a die off of more than we would like to see.

That sounds.....familiar. The check station here only runs Saturday and Sunday. Seems like they have plenty of time and money to burn making sure nobody catches a bull trout or cutthroat.[}:)]
A co-worker shot a big doe a few days ago for me. He'll bring me the meat next week.
Good on him.
