More Illinois tags available in 2004

Legislation is still pending, but it appears the quota of Non-resident deer tags to hunt in Illinois will be raised from 12,843 to 15,000.

Combo tag price will go up from $226 to $276. Additional doe tags can be bought over the counter in 2004 for just $25.

Good luck all!

Thanks for the info LLBUX. Perhaps non-residents being able to buy additional doe tags over the counter will help the buck/doe ratio.

I just wish I could get them to take a doe with their regular tags. Sorry to say, but the only deer they seem to draw on are P&Y or B&C bucks. I wish they would kill all of those they shoot at as well! Way too many misses.

I think I'll pay a $50 bounty this fall on does or offer to buy their extra tags.

Good luck!
