RE: IL Muzzleloader Tag
in IL, there are 2 gun seasons...and 1 late doe only/antlerless only deer season, which use to be the pistol season etc..
of the 2 gun/slug seasons, you can at least until last year only use your ML during the 2nd gun season and that later season, which now is anythign season....pistol, slug, ML, but doe only....antlerless
so unless things have changed this year, you cannot use a ML during that 1st season, still slug only, so anyone with a ML only tag? could only hunt that 2nd season or that late antlerless only.
and yes a unfilled tag during the slug season allows you to use it during that late season....though I believe you can get one of each....least residents can....
