Effingham, IL -(Effingham Radio)- Deer hunters in Illinois are hoping for better luck this weekend. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says the first weekend of deer hunting season saw fewer hunters bag a deer. DNR says hunters shot just over 50K deer during the weekend before Thanksgiving. That’s down from about 58K from the year before. Western Illinois had several counties in the top 5 for deer hunters, but southern Illinois’ Randolph County saw the most deer taken at around 1500.
