ILDNR deer pin information:The ILDNR
issued its first deer pin button back in 1978. Successful firearm and archery hunters receive the same color pins from 1978
thru 1982. The year 1983 is when ILDNR gave out separate color pin buttons for the firearm and archery. There has been
3 different diameter sizes since 1978. The Firearm issued years 1978, 1980 and 1985 are all the same diameter size of 1 1/4".
The year 1979 is the largest of them all 1 7/16". The archery 1985 pin button is also a 1 1/4" in diameter.
All the other years issued have all been the same size 1 1/8". Please keep this in mind when ordering a plaque from us
or anyone else.
The first CWD(Chronic Waisting Disease) pin was issued in 2005. So far there has been
05, 06, 07, 08, 09 and 10 CWD Pins. These pins were only issued in 5 different northern Illinois counties only which
make them very collectible. The ILDNR issued
2010 bow and firearm pins are much different from all other years. They are larger in diameter and the
back side pins are not removable. The pin/button company that has made the ILDNR pins for the past years went out of buisness.
There was a new company that made the 2010 pins. Not sure if the state will continue using this company and pin style going
forward.
