I think the biggest problem in Illinois is the tag lottery for firearms season. I had a friend who sent in for a full season tag in one county and got it. Then he sent in for second season tag and got an either sex tag. To me that makes no sense. They say they want to keep deer population down but yet i know all kinds of people who send in for two full season tags for my county and only get one. So how is it that a guy who sends in for a second season tag can get away with an either sex tag. If you ask me he should get an antlerless only tag if they want to keep the population down. Maybe this makes no sense to anyone but i dont get it.

I also think they should make the firearms season longer than just two weekends. I bowhunt but always look forward to shotgun season because i know i am almost guaranteed a deer. So if the population wants to go down why not make gun season longer? Interesting?
