Public squirrel hunting opportunities are available August 1 through September 15 at more nine private land hunting sites in the southern part of Illinois.
These sites in Williamson, Washington, Wabash, Marion and Bond counties are enrolled in the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ Illinois Recreational Access Program, commonly known as I-RAP.
Sites are available at no cost to participants. Hunters simply must register, sign a liability waiver, and reserve a site through I-RAP’s online registration system.
Once hunters successfully reserve their site, they can download a site-specific permit to print and take with them on their hunt, along with directions and a map with coordinates.
You can find the online registration link here.
