Bobcat Hunting Legislation Advances

It's up to Governor Rauner to decide if bobcat hunting has a future in Illinois.

The Illinois House approved a plan to allow hunting and trapping of bobcats, which have seen their population rebound in recent years.

Rauner, a hunter himself, hasn't offered any sign of a position on the issue.

State-issued permits would allow no more than 300 bobcats to be taken during a season running from Nov. 1 to Feb. 15.
