RE: Illinois Archery Lottery
Matt, do not buy a license until you find out you have a permit. A license can be purchased over the counter at any sporting goods store or Wally World. No sense in buying a license if you don't get drawn.....which most likely you will.
Also, last time I looked 7,500 permits were allocated for outfitter clients. As someone else stated previously I believe there were permits left over so all who apply should get one unless more than 20,000 permits are applied for. Its really pretty simple compared to many states. Much easier than trying to figure out the units and point systems western states use for big game.[:'(]
