The Illinois DNR Newsbits is a monthly publication by the IDNR giving constituents of Illinois the '411'. These issues are geared toward the outdoor enthusiast on a wide array of topics. However, if you are a trapper in Illinois, this issue is for you. Don't get us wrong, there are some great events going on this month but there are plenty of opportunities here for the trapper.
Look below.
The IDNR forgot to mention one thing in this month's newsbits and that's the Illinois Trout Opener October 21, 2017. Find out where you can go trout fishing across the state.
