Heres whats on a press release off the IL DNR site:

• Non-Resident Archery Deer Hunting Permits: The Department will provide up to 15,000 archery deer hunting permits to non-residents effective with the 2004 season. The non-resident permit quota has been 12,843 since the 2001 season. Demand for the permits has exceeded the number available each year. The increase in permits, combined with the state’s growing deer population, will provide added opportunity for hunters. The non-resident archery combination permits (allowing the harvest of one antlered and one antlerless deer) will continue to be issued through a toll free telephone reservation system that will open July 10. Non-residents buying a combination permit will also be able to purchase additional antlerless-only permits.
