As I understand it , the outfitters in Ill. are responsible for the quick sell out of the permits, cause they can buy up to 6 permits per phone call, so you know all their family and friends were busy on the phone Saturday. I guess they have to protect their investment in the business. Don't mean I have to like it....I wish they make it to where only the person doing the hunting can purchase a permit, to make it fair for all the rest of the country who want to hunt there.[>:]
