Disease killing deer, particularly in Porter County; first frost should stop the deaths
Porter County hunters may face fewer prey this deer season as a hemorrhagic disease has been striking the animals here in elevated numbers…
We don't know when first frost is likely to occur but AI (somewhat) reliable informs us that archery deer season begins in Illinois this year on October 1 and youth firearm deer season on October 12. First firearm deer season begins November 22 and second firearm season on December 6. And for the old guys, there's a muzzleloader-only (no kidding) deer season that begins December 13.

"Mother Nature has a way of mitigating the damage. Fewer deer after a die-off means more food for those that remain," we are assured.
