CWD Permit
Resident and Nonresident hunters must have a current, valid Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Deer Permit, or an unfilled deer permit valid for the previous firearm, muzzleloader or youth deer season and valid for one of the open counties (Boone, DeKalb, Grundy, JoDaviess, Kane (west of St. Rt. 47), Kankakee, Kendall, LaSalle, Livingston, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Will or Winnebago).
A CWD Deer Season Permit is issued for one county and is valid only in the county stated on the permit. Unfilled firearm, muzzleloader or youth deer permits are valid only for the county for which they were originally issued, except that unfilled landowner property-only hunting deer permits are valid only for the farmlands that the person to whom it was issued owns, leases, or rents within the open counties. Unfilled firearm, muzzleloader, or youth deer permits that were originally issued for special hunt areas are not valid during the CWD Deer Season unless:
-
the hunter’s name is redrawn at the daily site lottery to hunt at the same special hunt area during the CWD Season or,
-
the special hunt area is open to persons with a county permit and the special hunt area does not conduct a daily sitelottery. Sites conducting a daily site lottery will be announced publicly.
