WATERFOWL HUNTERS MEETING

4/7/25

Waterfowl hunters are encouraged to attend one of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) 2025 public open houses to contribute feedback on issues related to waterfowl hunting, including waterfowl hunting zones and future waterfowl season dates.  The closest meeting to our area will be held on Tuesday, May 20th, Illinois Department of Natural Resources field office, 1231 SW Street in Olney.

Input gathered from the public will be used to inform dates for the 2026 through 2030 waterfowl hunting seasons.  Hunters will have the opportunity to review information, provide comments on proposed waterfowl season recommendations, and speak with IDNR biologists.

The open house will take place from 5:30 to 8 pm with a formal presentation at 6 pm.  Learn more about Illinois waterfowl hunting online.
