Here in Illinois.. We are allowed 2 bucks by any means per year.... (bow, shotgun, pistol, muzzleloader) and we are unlimited with does... Archery tags can be bought over the counter for $26.50 (that is for one either sex and one antlerless). You can go back as many times as you need to for more tags... Then gun season (shotgun, muzzleloader, pistol only....1 week long split into two seasons 1st 3 days, 2nd 4 days). Then we have a muzzleloader only season (2 weekends... 1st weekend is in conjunction with the 2nd season gun). As a finale we have an antlerless only season in January.. Leftover gun tags are then available over the counter to whack as many does as you can...lol... I normally end up with 6-9 deer a year.. We eat 5 and donate the rest to shelters... Still waiting on October 1st here!!!!
