When you get your tag/license it'll spell it out, but last year 1st season gun deer, only a slug could be used, no pistol, rifle, ML, they'll spell it out with yoru information packet....but certainly know before you bring out that ML for 1st season, DNR catches you, and they will be out checking, you'd at the minimum be getting a ticket...

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.
