RE: Lowdown on IL NR fees
after going to a DNR auction today, and asked the dnr what is going on. the auction consisted of confiscated items over the past year. he told me that they raise the prices to limit the hunters out of state to make it better.he said all the money from the auction goes to the DNR, for hunting fishing, and other DNR needs. he said having such good deer #'s in this state makes it prime for out of staters. he said he used to go hunt out of state every year, but quit because of the high prices for fees. in all i think DNR is doing what should of been done 5 years ago. making the R hunters their first priority.
