IL hunters, when is bow season and what do I need to do for a hunting license? Sorry about asking but I've been busy. I'm now following up on my opportunity to hunt there. Il see where it goes. It will be only a few days at best. I've already connected my person in Md and he's all ready to go. Looks like a great season. If I don't even go anywhere, I've got plenty. Of spots in Md.
