Il atv regs with hunting

[mmilovan]

In illinois i know when transporting a shotgun during hunting season on an atv you have to have an enclosed case straped to the atv. Is this the same rule for a archery bow? Id like to buy holders for the bow to my atv but if i need to carry the bow in a case they are worthless to me.

Thank you
Mike

or airgun is unloaded and completely

enclosed in a case (see definition of

EXCEPT as noted in the

"¢ carry a bow or bow and arrow device in

a vehicle, conveyance or aircraft

UNLESS

it is unstrung or enclosed in a

case

, or otherwise made inoperable.

You need a case.

the reg that strikes me as odd is that you can put your gun in a rack in your truck, as long as its in a case[&:]

Put a padlock on that thing...all you have to do is make it so it can't be drawn.

as ilbowman said you only need to put a padlock on it
