RE: Illinois residents if you plan on moving soon or ever please read
Speaking as someone who holds a lifetime hunting license(Indiana) , get it before they sober up !
Mine was $855 , not $300 , and it's still the best money I ever spent . Not all states that issue them allow you to move away without invalidating them , Indiana was the only one that I was aware of that did that until I read this thread . Indiana has also recently dicontinued issuing them , and other states are considering it as well , so jump on it before they do . If you can afford it get them for your kids/grandkids too , hunting isn't getting any cheaper .
