Maverick351 Report post Posted July 3, 2015 Trying to figure out what I need to hunt there as DNR gave me the run around and couldn't answer general information. Almost felt like I accidentally dialed Az g+f Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturegirl Report post Posted July 3, 2015 Trying to figure out what I need to hunt there as DNR gave me the run around and couldn't answer general information. Almost felt like I accidentally dialed Az g+fIt's horrible. Last year I bought my license and tag early. I got there and went to an office and they sold me the additionAL items I needed. Then we get down to Shawnee and need another permit and lost a good part of the day getting the permit. We had no printer to print it. Luckily the lady at DNR office had pity on us and printed our stuff. It's a pain. Where will you be hunting? The apps were due a month ago. I'm just going to an office when I get there and have them sell me everything at once. Easier than how I did it last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick351 Report post Posted July 3, 2015 I haven't decided if I will or not. Wife and I going to a family wedding. Located in Watseka in iroqouis county. They have a few properties with 75 acres plus on each one. I'd have about 2-1/2- 3 days to hunt. Was just looking at an OTC kinda deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Find a good trail and climb a tree. I got a buddy in nebraska that swears by the tree saddle for that kind of fast set up hunting. Apparently you can get situated in any tree regardless of branches. Worth a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted July 3, 2015 I hunted deer in Illinois years ago when only a non-resident license was needed. Trouble was, I had to use a shotgun with a rifled slug. The buck I shot jumped and ran off. We tracked him about 500 yards to a fence I was told I couldn't cross, even to recover a deer. I never hunted in that state again. -- Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Titanium700 Report post Posted July 3, 2015 Illinois public land hunting is better than some states private land hunting. Even at that I only hunt private there too because it's easy to get permission there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
