Results of studies of Illinois hunters, landowners, and participants in Access Illinois
Access to lands for hunting is a serious problem in Illinois. To determine need and support for a private land access program, four mail surveys were conducted from August 2000 through April 2001. Resident hunters, landowners, participants in Access Illinois Outdoors AIO , and landowners enrolled in AIO were each surveyed for attitudes toward private land access, perspectives on a statewide private land access program, and hunting quality in Illinois. The results of these surveys are the basis of this report.
