2026–27 Illinois Hunting & Trapping Season Cheat Sheet

Every major Illinois season on two pages: deer, fall turkey, upland and small game, ducks and geese by zone, and fur. I pulled the dates from the IDNR 2026–27 digest so you don't have to dig through the whole digest.

  • Archery, firearm, muzzleloader, late winter and CWD deer dates
  • Fall turkey, pheasant, quail, rabbit, squirrel, dove and woodcock, with limits
  • Duck and goose dates for the North, Central and South zones
  • Where the zone lines run through Will County
  • Trapping and hunting dates for raccoon, muskrat, mink, beaver, coyote and fox
  • Youth hunt dates
