Is there a way to find out how much the antlerless harvest was reduced when the doe days were reduced?

Love my choices!

Schuyler and Scott counties in western Illinois.

They are hard to pick out on the colored map so I added a county map.

Put yourself in the right position and maybe something good will happen!
