I did the survey too, looks like things could get ugly if this all passes

I suggested allowing over the counter sales of permits during the late doe season, and opening bow season two to three weeks earlier.

I completed survey. I would agree with opening bow season earlier and otc tags late season. Shooting a doe before taking a buck would also work although this is not a favored thing among many..

I really just hope they dont throw a dang gun season in the middle of bow hunting season.. Geeeez!!!!

Done, and I really laid it on them about having the Kingdom of Chicago politicians running the show instead of the deer biologists.[:@]

I hope somebody actually reads these things, but I'm not holding my breath.[&:]

done. My two cents: They're going to do what they want, regardless of what hunters want. But this way, they've given us the chance to voice our opinion.

Done! I do hope they read our comments and take them into consideration, but Farm Bureau and insurance groups have a mighty strong say into what is actually done in Illinois.
