Non-residenthunting license is all that is needed, it expires March 31st 2007 and it costs 50.75 for the full season, if your only hunting a short period you can buy a5 day license for 28.75. If your a licensed non-resident then you can buy ammunition without needing a F.O.I.D. card. Illinois residents buying ammo in Illinois need to show/have thiere F.O.I.D. card.( Incase you were not aware ) Hope that helps....good luck...buy a "Psycho Tweety" It's the bomb.... sounds great.
