I'm always glad to help and I suppose I'm just a bit anal-retentive when it comes to regs. I've probably read IL regs cover-to-cover. It helps pass the time waiting for my turn to hunt there. Six weeks to go and I can hardly contain myself!

So you're wanting to come to Illinois, why? As confusing as they are, all of our regs are the reason we have the kind of Bucks that makes people want to leave their own poorly managed State and spend ridiculous amounts of time and money hunting here!

ppfttt! You've got to be kidding- right? The size of your bucks is relative to the amount of items have to purchase in order to hunt there? mmmkay. If you say so!

No, it is relative to having tight control over how many people hunt where. Name one big buck state where a hunter can just buy permits over the counter and hunt where ever he wants with it. That's what i thought. You mis-understood my reply. Somtimes you have to put on your thinking cap on this forum.
