It is important that JTA remain open for future generations. If the Army does not keep it open for military training, it must be kept open for the utilization of sportsmen. The Chicago area and northern Illinois lacks open space. This area is ideal for all area sportsmen as well as residents that do not participate in outdoot activities.

Mark,

For Small Game and Deer hunting, applications for the lottery (selection and access)are put in the “Hunters Shack” on TA around March 1st. The selection process is usually completed by mid-April with those chosen usually notifed by late-May to early-June.

Permits for Turkey seasons are laid out in the Hunters Shack a couple months before the seasons. If you’re interested in these, I suggest visiting the shack - there’s a lot of helpful information posted there.

Good News …

Have learned authorizations for hunting @ JTC are progressing “full steam ahead”.

Deer permits have and continue to be sent out. Concerning deer permits - rumor has it there may some still available, so call if you’re interested.

In addition, the small game permits are expected to be issued beginning the end of this month.

You can thank the hard work of those individuals managing these programs @ JTC and the support local sportsman and woman have provided. Keep up the good work and getting the word out !

The JTC provides hundreds of hunters a place to hunt. Without the JTC many hunters will lose their only place to hunt. Save the wildlife do not close the JTC.

This is just another way of the government trying to take control. If we cant hunt then we don’t need weapons !!!!!!!! Lets save this land and show the people that we do listen .

there are not enough private properties open to hunting lets not lose this top notch facility, I successfully hunted for deer in the shotgun season last year and had a great experience. the biologist does a great job.
change for the sake of change is not good.
