Default RE: Lowdown on IL NR fees

First of all THANKS Cougar and other residents of IL that have been so supportive of the NR side of this issue. I have met alot of great people while hunting in IL over the last several years and it is sad to me to think I may not be able to return because of high prices. I guess in that respect Buckhunter17 the DNR will be getting just what they want as well as you. Too bad though I think that it comes down to this. You will probably see just as many hunters, but they will just be a little higher class. If they have the money for the tag chances are they will have money for an outfitter. In turn helping the outfitter to acquire more of your hunting land. Its just not a good deal for any of us I think. I for one do not want to see my state raise their prices for folks from IL to hunt here as retaliation. That in my opinion is not the answer and I hope it does not come to that. We as sportsmen need to stand together with one voice against these pocket lining politicians. Again thanks to all IL sportsmen that kept us NR up-to-date on this situation.
