Illinois Guys...Check your FOID

Just wanted to make sure with Shotgun Deer season and Upland game hunting less than 2 months away, make sure you check your FOID cards. Wouldn't want anyone to get ready to hunt in late October and have an expired FOID!

....waiting for mine....it expires next month and i already sent in for it a while ago. good reminder though there are so many people who forget to look at theres or dont even realize the expiration date is coming up fast, especially in the fall now when it is going to take a couple months to get

Good until July 2011. Excellent suggestion, though! Wouldn't want to see this........

Good for 1 more year on mine!

Wish you would've done that a couple months ago!!! Won a gun at a Whitetails Unlimited banquet & found out there that it expired in August! Sent it off but people are saying it is taking 6 weeks to get their new FOIDs back. Might mess up taking my daughter on her first youth deer hunt...

I no longer have to worry about it. I find it amusing and ironic that as an Illinois resident for most of my life I had to have a FOID. Now, as a non-resident, i don't need one as long as I have a Non-Resident hunting license. I'm a little fuzzy on whether i am actually supposed to be able to buy shotgun shells or bullets in Illinois, but I haven't had any problems so far.
