NO OPEN SEASON ON WILD TURKEYS 
There will be no open season on wild turkeys in Illinois this year or 
for several years to come, William T. Lodge, Director of the Illinois De- 
partment of Conservation, stated last month. 
The recent announcement of the opening of the Pope County Refuge to 
hunting has been misunderstood by many sportsmen. The area was closed to 
all hunting, except white tailed deer during the three-day shotgun season, 
so as not to disturb a flock of wild turkeys obtained from West Virginia. 
The birds needed time to adapt themselves to their new environment. The 
purpose of the refuge has been fulfilled, and now all hunting, except for 
turkeys, will be permitted. Squirrels, quail, deer, and other species 
that are legal game in Illinois may be hunted on the area during the legal 
season. Wild turkeys are not legal game in Illinois. 
GOOD NEWS FOR HUNTERS 
The Hungarian Partridge will be a legal game bird in Illinois for 
the first time in 1961. The daily bag limit is two birds and the possession 
limit, four birds. The season opens at 12 noon, CST, November 18 and closes 
at sunset, December 12. Shooting hours are from sunrise until sunset, 
except on opening day.
