If you really want to, there still may be time. There are still A LOT of tags available through the daily lottery. I don't know what county that is in, but if you check the IDNR website it will tell you what counties still have buck tags. I know many of them still do, my buddy just bought his last night for a county in S. Illinois. Out of state tags are costly though, but you may nail the buck of a lifetime. Good luck and if you are really serious about it this year, id check it out. I think they still can mail tags to you (If they are available) until the beginning of November. Good Luck!
