well a ML is a nice option, but in IL, that only allows you to use it during 2nd firearm season or late season doe only ML season....so you'll still need a slugger for that 1st gun season....
According to theIllinois Digest of Hunting and Trapping regulations, it is legal to use a handgun, muzzleloader, or shotgun during the firearm deer season. It is the muzzleloader deer tag that can only be used for the second season and muzzleloader only weekend.
