Our very own which helps drive up non-resident fees.
The more they make it popular the worse it gets.

I just wanted to add yes I am frustrated with Illinois. I live less then a mile across the border in Wisconsin

idiots and drunks who come up here. Im not saying all of them are like this but a heck of a lot are plain and simple.

Deer are commodities in IL.
Fact of life. We have the mountains and the beaches, here in NC. They have Deer in IL (and lots of Democrats...lol).
The democrats are worthless.....so they gotta make their money where they can.

Not to rain on your parade, but "Boo Hoo". So non-resident fees are more expensive now than they were a few years ago. So is the price of gas, the cost of electricity, the cost of automobiles, the cost of housing, androast beef sandwich at Arby's. Whose fault is all of that?
The increased availability of information via magazines, television, and most importanly the Internet has allowed people to broaden the scope of what they can and will do at any given time to hunt better areas. Why is that so bad?
I know Craig Neace personally and he's a great guy. He's not out to get rich off selling a few hunts or to drive costs up for everyone. He wants to make a couple bucks and help guys from out of state find a place to hunt in IL that they can enjoy and possibly see and kill some nice bucks on. Is that really so bad?
And since when is $160 for a WI non-resident tagcheap? Cheaper than IL for sure, but it's still a lot of coin. And as for the quality of people hunting certain areas, I don't believe that has anything to do with license costs or an article posted on HuntingNet. But hey, broad generalizations are always fun to make!

RE: I hate reading stories like this...
Let's just make a big list of who is responsible for the costs of non-resident tags going up, then at the end we'll take a big vote to determine the winner.
So far we have:
1. Outfitters
2. Democrats
Anyone else we need to consider here? I guess anyone who makes hunting in Illinois "popular" which would cover just about all major tv shows, magazines, this website, myself personally, and anyone else who has ever hunted in Illinois and told someone about it.
That's gonna be one long list. We better stock up on plenty of wood and lighter fluid. This is gonna be one heck ofa witch hunt.
