The 2017 Illinois Youth Firearm Deer Hunt is October 7th through 9th. Permits are available over-the-counter at license vendors throughout the state. Hunters that are 16 years of age or older must also have a Habitat Stamp. Archery deer season will be underway, so if you are a bow hunter, you’ll need to wear blaze orange the weekend of the youth deer hunt, unless your county is closed to the youth deer season.
