Thanks a bunch for the info. One last question...is there any hunting classes that are required before I can go hunting?

Here's the answer to your question andy.

WHO MUST TAKE THE COURSE?
On January 1, 1996, a State law was passed that anyone born on or after January 1, 1980 may not be issued a hunting license unless:
[ul]*they present a valid Hunter Education Certificate of Competency issued by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Division of Education.

*or they present evidence he or she has held a hunting license issued by the State of Illinois or another state in a prior year.
