Doesn't look like many of the counties are full yet. I onlysee a few with 0's next to them. If you get in before the daily drawings in the middle of September and there are permits available in the county you are applying to, I think you will be in good shape.
I also got a quick question for you guys, never had to deal with this before. In the last month I recieved permission to hunt some property in Southern Illinois. My buddy, fearing that we wouldn't have any place to hunt applied for shot gun permits (and recieved them) for a county in Central Illinois back in April. The problem is, he has no where to Shotgun hunt in Central Illinois, kind of got them "Just in case" him and his father got a place to hunt. My question is, can he apply for permits in S. illinois and just eat the price of the old tags in Central Illinois? He doesn't need his in Central but he does want to go with me in Southern Illinois. Ive heard that as long as you only take one buck during all gun seasons you are fine to apply to another county. Anyone hear of that being true? Thanks Guys.
Now that the random daily is the only lottery that is left, he can apply for anything that is left, regardless of what tags he already has. Also, you can kill 2 bucks with a gun as long as that is the only 2 bucks you kill. The limit is 2 per year (the IDNR considers a year to be July 1st to July 1st, one year to the next, as a year) through all weapon types and seasons.
