RE: Question on hunting in Illinois
Chuck, I'm from Illinois and I can tell you that all of the firearm permits are on a draw basis. I don't know alot about the non-resident requirements but I do know they have put more restrictions on non-residents that in the past. As a resident we have to have a F.O.I.D., Firearm Owners Identification card, to carry any firearm. They are issued by the Illinois state police and cost about $5 and are good for 5 years. If I can help you in any way just let me know. You might post this in the regional forum under midwest. Good luck!
