1sagittarius, the Illinois NR deer license fees are certainly rediculous.

I know some Illinoisians think that by jacking up the cost, we'll lose some of the leasing and outfitting... but in my opinion.. the only NR's who can afford to hunt in IL now are those can also afford to lease land or hire an outifitter.

I did hear that there might be a 25.00 NR doe only tag offered this year. I hope they go ahead with it. I have some East Coast and West Coast friends who've never killed a deer with a bow, and they'd jump at the opportunity to hunt our big, fat does.
