Section 675.50  Reporting Harvest

a)         The deer shall be taken whole (or field dressed) to a designated CWD Deer Hunting Season check station by the hunter in person by 8:00 p.m. of the day the deer was killed.  If a hunter is not able to locate a harvested deer in sufficient time to enable checking in the deer by 8:00 p.m., the hunter must take the deer to the appropriate check station upon its opening (8:00 a.m.) the following morning, or immediately upon retrieving it if that occurs later than the opening of the check station.  If this situation occurs on a Sunday (e.g., the check station will not be open on Monday), the hunter must contact the appropriate regional DNR Law Enforcement Office by 10:00 a.m. Monday morning for instructions on checking in the deer.  Failure to follow this Section constitutes illegal possession of deer.

b)         Violation is a Class B misdemeanor (see 520 ILCS 5/2.24).
