It's illegal if you're hunting in Illinois. Here, hunters can take a
maximum of three deer unless they're deer on their own land that have
done damage (I'd think that would about cover everyone). There's no
need for me to hunt myself as one of my coworkers has a husband and
two sons who generally get their limit (and she doesn't have enough
freezers for 9 deer). I got a small doe this year.
