Questions & Answers

I need to know if there's any "gun" season currently open? I've got hunting going on in the woods surrounding my home. It's private property. If anyone can answer my question... Please do.

If it's your property and it's posted you contact IDNR enforcement to help (if they can get there). Especially if they are shooting near your house.
