As was anticipated weeks ago, Illinois bowhunters set a record harvest for the second year in a row. That’s the standout number. The overall harvest by Illinois deer hunters (162,575) was up for 2020-21, compared to153,174 in 2019-20.
Harvest during the archery season (75,544) nearly matched the harvest during the two traditional firearm seasons (76,579). Very interesting.
Here is the breakdown by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources:
