You're not kidding that one hurts.........Probably not quite as bad for you guys who at least live within sight of IL.
Poor Greg lives closer to Illinois than I do to my main farm here and has to buy a non-resident license. LOL
But yeah.......$475 to hunt deer.
Greg reminded me last night that a nonresident Colorado combo Bull/Cow ELK tagisonly $25 more than that.
At the rate of my success vs. cost of hunting there I figure in a couple of years I could have just gone on a fully guided Pike Co. hunt. We sure do have fun though trying to figure it out and hunting together.
I think this is our year though, if we just keep doing everything right sooner or later...........
