Lockart explained that many dates during the last half of the pheasant season remained unfilled last year and by allowing hunters the second permit after Nov. 1, he felt these permits would be sold. The permit pheasant season will run from Nov. 11 through Dec. 3. Hunters with permits must check into the areas by 8 a.m. Area quo tas not filled through advance per mits will be open to hunters on a first-come, first-served basis. The bag limit will be two pheasants of either sex. The seven public shooting areas managed by the state are: Carlyle Lake, Chain O'Lakes, Des Plaines, Green River, Iroquois County, Rend Lake and Richland County. "We were forced to close our permit area at Shelby County this year because we could not lease enough properly," Lockart said. "However, as a replacement we have opened a new area on depart- ment-managed land at Rend Lake. The area is a mile west of Inter state 57 on III. 183."

Hunters must check into the area by 5 a.m. to draw for blinds. Rice Lake will be closed on dates when the lake is frozen over. Bag limits will be determined under the point system. "All waterfowl hunters 16 years of age or older must have a fed eral migratory waterfowl hunting stamp affixed to their hunting licenses," Lockart said. "We encourage the use of dogs on all of our state-managed areas. Dogs are valuable in pointing or flushing the game, as well as re trieving cripples that would other wise be lost." Lockart reminded hunters to give second choice of hunting dates whenever possible to ensure them permits. "Opening days, weekends and holidays are always in great de mand," he pointed out. "We urge sportsmen to choose other dates if their schedule will allow it."

"In counties open to deer hunting ail hunters, whether they are hunting deer or other game, must wear a cap and a vest or upper outer garment of a solid and vivid red, yellow or orange." This year's six-day shotgun sea son for deer hunting will be Nov. 17, 18 and 19, and Dec. 8, 9 and 10. Eighty-seven of Illinois' 102 counties are open. Lockart pointed out that due to the anticipated heavy concentra tion of deer hunters, Carroll, Hardin, Jo Daviess and Pope Counties will be closed to upland game hunting during the shotgun deer hunting season. Heavy usage is also anticipated by department officials in the Shelbyville Wildlife Management areas open to shotgun hunting for deer the first time this fall. "We are urging hunters to be especially careful and safety minded," said Lyle Adams, assistant supervisor of wildlife resources. "Many hunters will be eager to take advantage of the opening of Moultrie County and our new area, and we expect heavy usage. For this reason we advise the hunting public of expected heavy hunting pressure and urge all hunters to recognize the potential hazard and apply safety precau tions as required."
