Illinois Windshield Cards
and
Harvest Reporting Forms

 

For all questions or issues regarding Windshield Cards, contact DNR.WSCardAdmin@illinois.gov for help. Please note, site lockouts due to failure to report previous year’s harvest will not prevent you from hunting at a site in 2024/2025. However, you must contact Windshield Card Administration to have card privileges reinstated. Windshield Card reporting is specific to certain IDNR public land sites and separate from the statewide deer and turkey harvest reporting through ExploreMoreIL.com, which is required for all deer and turkey harvests.

Hunters who are successfully drawn in a lottery for Site Specific - Spring Turkey, Archery Deer, Firearm Deer, etc., will see these lottery hunt types pre-loaded on your Windshield Cards once lotteries are complete and prior to the opening of the season.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources encourages you to report your hunting effort and success. This information is an important management tool to IDNR. The data you provide allows us to make better decisions and set regulations on the sites where you hunt. Please take the time to report the days that you hunt and your harvest. Thank you for contributing towards bettering hunter experiences for everyone on IDNR sites.
