Illinois Waterfowl Seasons and Zone Lines to be Reset
Illinois has had four waterfowl hunting zones since 2011, but the state's wildlife managers plan to revert to a three-zone format starting next year.
The proposed changes also include a split season and a rearrangement of duck season dates. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) credits duck hunters for sharing their opinions, which led to the proposed changes to the 2026-2030 season framework.
However, the response from some hunters has been negative, causing the DNR to reconsider the changes. The agency is now backpedaling on some of the proposed modifications.
No official statement has been made by the DNR regarding the final decision on the waterfowl seasons and zone lines.
