You can hunt with you bow during muzzleloader season if you have a archery permit and you wear a flourescent orange hat and 400 sq inches of flourescent orange on a vest or coat..Has to be solid orange not orange camo..Good Luck....

If you are a non-resident then you will not be able to bowhunt without a Non-ResidentIllinois Archery permit....if you have however recieved such a permit then all you need is a solid blaze orange hat and 400 sq. in. of solid blaze orange vest.

First muzzleloader season is the same 4 days that is considered our second gun season. YouCAN NOTbow hunt that weekend.
The following weekend is the second muzzleloader season (muzzleloader only) and yes if you have the right permits and wear orange you can bow hunt then.

I also belive that if you are hunting a property off limits to firearms you can go sans HO

THIS IS WRONG>>>> I hunt a small state owned area in St. Clair Co. that is closed to gun hunting for deer... you NEED Orange during any gun season, including the youth season in early Oct. even though the area is closed to gun deer hunters.
