No buckshot is allowed in Illinois for hunting' or shotgun slugs on public land.
Shotshells are bird shot. The largest size is bb in lead for Illinois. Public land may require non toxic shot.

Is it legal for you to have a friend buy a resident pass and you use it?

Hunting coyotes in suburbs

Hi! I am not a hunter but am hoping people can help me with some questions. I live about 16 miles from the city in Oak Brook. We live in a neighborhood on acre size lots. Yesterday we can w/in seconds of losing our family pet beagle to 2 coyotes in our yard a few feet from our house at 8 am in broad daylight. Beyond upsetting but luckily we saw the coyotes just in time and ran them off. I've just found out there are a ton of them close because of a wooded reserve just behind our development. These are going to be silly question for you hunters but I really need some help! Can I shoot them if in my yard? I thought of getting s pellet gun but sure that won't keep them away. Anyone know the laws regarding this or have any good ideas? I'm practically afraid to go out in my yard!
Thanks!

Call an professional exterminator.

There are people who do this for a living + business is good, particularly in housing developments !

I live in Oak Brook which is in DuPage County. I do not really want to hunt them but I cannot stand back and let them invade my yard and possibly kill my dog! I just want to learn the rules and regulations for getting a gun and what is approved in a neighborhood on 1 acre lots? Ive been told there are hundreds in the area because of Fullerton Woods which is very close to us. I refuse to be afraid to be in my own yard! Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
