(Undated) –The first firearm deer hunting weekend is set for this weekend in Illinois. IDNR Forest Wildlife Program Manager, Dan Skinner, says tree stand falls are the number one source of hunting-related accidents and fatalities. He says that’s why a “fall arrest system” is so important.
Skinner also reminds hunters to use a “haul line” to bring up their gear and always inspect their equipment closely. The opening firearm deer hunting weekend in Illinois is this Friday through Sunday.
