Illinois hunting seasons by upland game zone
Every Illinois season a person has checked against the Illinois Department of Natural Resources's regulations for 1 unit (upland game zone), with what's open today. Tap a unit for its boundary, the land inside it and its own season list.
Seasons by upland game zone
3 season rows for 3 species, from the unit pages as of November 1, 2026. Rows that apply to several units are listed once. Both dates are included; the badge uses your device's date.
The official regulations have the final word
These dates come from rows a person checked against the Illinois Department of Natural Resources's regulations, but bag limits, licences, draws, legal hours and closures are set there and can change during the season. Read them before you hunt.
HuntGrid isn't affiliated with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. A season shows here only once a person has checked it; others may exist.
