In Illinois you have the choice of either applying online, downloading or stopping by a DNR officefor a application, fill it out by hand and then mailing it in. They have a daily drawing then. The thing I like about the online option is I get the transaction number and I know they have my permit application. No chance of the US mail "loosing it". Bowhunting is different, you can by those at most places over the counter that sells sporting goods and they are good anywere in the state. Firearm permits are county specific. Firearmpermits are $15 good for 1 deer. I think the bowhunting tags are the same price, I don't bow hunt. Permits are usually sent to hunters sometime the first of July for the first season.
