Hit the IDNR website and it will give you all the information you have to know. They unfortunately are not like a lot of states. Non residents do have to draw for a tag but there are usually a good amount ledt over. Just to forewarn you, they are a little pricey if you haven't bowhunted much out of state. Best bet would be to google "Illinois Deer license" The state website should be the first one to pop up. Good Luck!
