This is Not the Gospel, but it's my understanding we can.

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

Yep, IL changed its Regs so that Bowhuntes can hunt right up til' the very end this season. As mentioned, don't forget the blaze Orange though.

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.

As long as they are traditional bowhunters correct ?
Not much love for compound thingy (as most UBI members like to call them) bowhunters in UBI.

I said most not all.
