(Springfield, IL) — Illinois deer hunters had a better year in 2017 as compared to the year before. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources released its final report on deer hunting for 2017 yesterday. In all, hunters bagged over 147 thousand deer. That’s about three thousand more deer than in 2016. Western Illinois saw the best numbers, with Pike, Fulton, and Adams counties as three of the state’s four most productive counties for hunters.
