The Illinois Conservation Foundation is inviting hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to participate in a special two-day controlled hunt in Cass County later this fall.
The ICF has announced its hosting its annual Director’s pheasant and chukar hunt at Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish & Wildlife Area on November 27th & 28th.
Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Natalie Phelps Finnie will participate in this annual tradition. Between the two days of the all-inclusive hunt, ICF will also host a banquet dinner in downtown Springfield where there will be a live and silent auction and raffles to raise money for the foundation.

Banquet-only tickets are available for those unable to attend the hunt for $60 each or $100 for a couple. Prices will increase next Friday.
