Conservation officers say last deer season twenty accidents happened in Illinois during the firearm hunting period. Of those accidents, two resulted in deaths. With that in mind the Illinois Department of Natural Resources wants those searching for venison to play it safe. I spoke with one local hunter who has a game plan in place, before heading to the woods. State DNR officials have a full list of hunting reminders on their website, dnr.illinois.gov . The first firearm hunting period runs this Friday through Sunday. The final four day period starts December 3rd. Hunting hours run from 30 minutes before dawn, to 30 minutes after dusk.
