Yep, archery is open. And you do have to wear orange, even if your county is'nt included in the late antlerless season, which stinks :s8:

The United Bowhunters of Illinois was founded in 1995 to represent the interests of Illinois bowhunters while promoting outdoor ethics and values. We are an organization founded on the principle that “more does not necessarily mean better.” In building the UBI, the founders felt that in order to have credibility with the IDNR, other hunting groups, and the non-hunting public it would be necessary to maintain a high level of quality within the membership. We look for members that are willing to get involved to protect and promote bowhunting in Illinois.

The UBI was not established to be a large state bowhunting organization, just a very active and dedicated one. Our selective membership policy allows us to add members whose bowhunting philosophies and goals are consistent with the organization's.

Not much love for compound thingy (as most UBI members like to call them) bowhunters in UBI.

I said most not all.

I dont think anything from the site comes straight out and says that but take a look and also read there forum it's obvious some of them have a very strong dislike or even hate for compound bows &/or compound bowhunters.

I dont know where the United part comes in ?

Dont get me wrong there are some good guys in UBI that will do what they think is best or right for all bowhunting in IL but some will only do whats best for them &/or tradition bowhunting in IL.

This is just my opinion I'm sure others will disagree with me.

I can assure you guys... the UBI does NOT think to higly of compound shooters! I known a few of their members and they are purists who think the modern compound and accessories hve ruined the sport! Several of their members are VERY vocal about their stance. There is no "united" about them!
