Doreen, Contrary to what you stated in your article, it’s not
illegal to shoot wild turkeys in IL, though there may be some issues regarding
discharging firearms within some city/municipality limits. IL DNR sets out defined turkey-hunting seasons – and IL
has both ‘spring’ and ‘fall’ turkey seasons. http://dnr.state.il.us/admin/pdf/season_dates.pdf Looks like you’re smack-dab in the middle of the fall
archery turkey season – if anyone in the family is an accomplished
toxophilite(word for the day – it means archer, or ‘lover of the
bow’), you could potentially be feasting on a tasty tom or hen at your
next festive family dinner. Several years back, someone on the list, or in an older issue of
POMONA was singing the praises of wild turkeys – or tame turkeys of the old
‘wild’ type as superb vole/mouse control for the orchard. Lucky |
