Honestly, this may come as a shock, but I think that $400 a tag is pretty outragous. That makes it hard for a guy that is on a limited budget to come up here and even hunt on public ground. With the way the deer herd is in southern Illinois at least, I think they should make at least doe tags a little cheaper. And another thing I don't understand about Illinois is if the DNR is raking in all of this money from out of states tags, where is it going. They are getting rid of CPs, they are cutting down on conservation programs. If I had to guess, it's conserving the size of somebody's pockets.
