Results of the 2003-2004 Illinois Hunter Harvest Survey

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

A random sample of 3,000 potential hunters was selected from the 2003 Illinois Habitat Stamp stubs and license sales. The sample was evenly divided between each sample frame (1,500 from each frame). An eight page questionnaire was mailed to 2,886 of the 3,000 individuals sampled from the 2 sample frames. We received 1,891 (66%) returned questionnaires, 1,879 of which were usable. License sales increased 1.4% from the 2002 season (289,000) to the 2003 season (293,000). Comparisons of results from 2002-03 season to 2003- 04 season suggest harvest estimates increased for 5 game animal categories (pheasant, dove, woodcock, gray squirrel, and coyote), decreased for 7 categories (rabbit, quail, fox squirrel, raccoon, red fox, gray fox, and opossum), and could not be calculated for 1 category (gray partridge). Use of the internet by hunters and types of hunting licenses purchased were profiled, as were attitudes toward wildlife and wildlife management and some general information about hunters.

Shallow groundwater quality sampling in Kane County, October 2003.

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Seventy-five shallow wells were sampled for water-quality analysis in Kane County in October 2003 to provide a 'snapshot' of groundwater quality in these shallow aquifers and also compare water quality from different parts and aquifers of Kane County. The quality of shallow groundwater in Kane County is generally good, especially in the western and central thirds of the county. However, the total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations of samples from the eastern third of the county were significantly higher than elsewhere in the county. The ions of greatest concern are chloride and sulfate. Almost two-thirds of the samples from the eastern wells sampled had TDS, chloride, and/or sulfate concentrations above their drinking water standards. Road-salt runoff, vehicular exhaust, and industrial discharges are the most likely sources of these elevated solutes. Because the movement of groundwater is slow, the widespread presence of high TDS groundwater in the eastern urban corridor of Kane County suggests a fairly long history of shallow groundwater contamination. This project provides a baseline for shallow groundwater quality in Kane County. Repeating this study at 5-year intervals, sampling as many of the same wells as possible, would help to determine water-quality changes as Kane County undergoes land-use changes. More detailed studies at more frequent intervals for particularly sensitive areas or those with rapid changes in land use also may be helpful to water resource planners.

Temporal distribution of midwestern precipitation during the 20th century

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Temporal fluctuations in the annual and summer precipitation across the Midwest during the 1898-2002 period are defined and described. Precipitation amounts were assessed for 15-year periods to show how patterns of precipitation have shifted spatially over the 20th Century. The early part of the century featured near average precipitation conditions, followed by predomi-nately dry conditions from 1928 through 1957. For example, during 1928-1942, 96 percent of the Midwest had below average precipitation. After 15 years with near average conditions from 1958 to 1972, extremely wet conditions developed during 1973-2002, with 91 percent of the Midwest experiencing above average precipitation. Extreme precipitation values sampled during each 15-year period revealed temporal differences with much more extreme amounts during wet and dry periods than during near average periods. Annual totals reflected the long-term variations in summer rainfall, revealing the importance of summer rainfall in determining annual amounts. Regionally, amounts were below average more frequently in the southern Midwest than in the central and northern Midwest. Values were above average more frequently in the northern Mid-west than in the central and southern Midwest. The results provide information that should be useful for hydrologic and agricultural planning and assessments.
