Thanks to all who helped the Illinois Bowfishers get this accomplished. Especially our friends in IDNR fisheries, and all who called the legislators. It has been a lot of work and a long time coming, but we couldn't have done this without you.
Now have at 'em boys and girls.

Great, And thanks to you for your effort as well. And to think that I know where the new state record shad is hanging out. Do not ever remembering seeing a drum while bowfishing. But I guess that they are out there somewhere.
