Illinois closed all state parks including hunting area and boat ramps. Turkey hunters already paid for their permits and now IDNR will not allow them to use them nor refund any of the money. Hunters and Anglers have always maintained social distancing and should not be restricted from using what they have already paid for.
I am honestly overwhelmed by the momentum this has gained lately. This movement belongs entirely to the people who took the time to speak up for fairness. It is humbling to see so many of you standing together on this.

People need things to do besides stay in there house. I’ve been fishing 5 times. Alone, with my dog.

Open space is not a threat. Hunting and fishing is the original social distancing technique.

Fishing while practicing social distancing is in the approved essential activity list. Mental health us just as important as physical health in this current state if the world. Fishing and hiking are great ways to remain relaxed and improve overall mental health

From southern Illinois. Our small state lakes all shut down. Lucky to see handful people on the entire lake.

I love fishing sometimes it feels like it's my therapy. We can maintain common distancing practices. This is so not fair for those of us that have supported the idnr though purchases of legal licensing and who need these resources also to feed their families. I ask to have the parks back open

State parks are owned by the people of the state and paid for buy outdoor men & women. IDNR you need to honor the permits paid for.
