RE: Kansas Bowhunters: A must read
Well Illinois gets around the whole "Why draw for the landowner when you can by OTC" issue by giving the landowners the permits. They are free. other states have these too, they are called nuisance tags that are given to land owners who are having too much crop damage or damage to feed storage areas. To me the whole idea of landowner permits should be that you are able to use them on your land only and only by people who own/operate the property. You can get landowner permits on ground you rent in Illinois for agriculutural purposes if you get the landowners permission. It is not an altogether bad system. I can't remember how the acreage goes but it is something like every 160 acres you can get a permit. Never gone through the process to do it, maybe this year I will.
