Illinois Waterfowl Season - Central Zone Opener Starts Tomorrow

Illinois Waterfowl Season - Central Zone Opener Starts Tomorrow

It's finally here, the central zone opener for waterfowl.  We are really excited to be getting this years season off to a start.  Yes, we went out teal hunting, but the hot weather in early September kept most of the teal away from us. Some places, like the walk-in units at Carlye, did well.  However, both our dove and teal season were slower then what we would have liked.

For many of us tomorrow is like Christmas morning.  Regardless, if you're in the field, a blind or in a boat, being out there is all we've been wanting for since last season. Remember to double check that you have everything, set that alarm and get ready. Our season never really ends at Capitol Outdoors because we're always buying, fixing and strategizing for next year regardless if its hunting or fishing.  At least now, we'll be able to do some of that in the blind.

Youth Participate in Illinois Hunting and Fishing

Youth Participate in Illinois Hunting and Fishing

This past weekend was full of hunting and fishing events.  Getting the youth outdoors is a necessary part of their childhood.  No kid grows up remembering their high score on a video game, they remember the time ducks were locked out and landed in the spread or that time a bass pulled some drag.
