Just want to remind guys that even though hunting season still seems years away, first draw applications are due tomorrow, April 30th for shotgun deer permits. Don't want you to miss out and your area/county because you forgot. Until I know I have secured my spot on private land I'll be trying for public permits and if I get my spot in S. Illinois I'll just forfeit my public land permits and hit the second lottery for my first choice county. Good luck to all the Illinois residents, hope you all get your first choice!
