RE: Ill deer hunters ???
LLBUX,
I don't have the amount of acreage to qualify for NR landowner tags. Pretty frustrating since my "tiny" 19 acres of woods has more habitat and deer than a lot of 100 acre farms.
Canoeboy,
I'm not interested in leasing my land because I prefer to keep it open forfriends, family,and neighbors to deer hunt on it. Nice try though

You may get lucky.
Resident landowners must have 40 acres to qualify for a free landowner tag.
I looked a bit on the DNR website and could find no such requirement for a non-resident who wishes to buy a paid landowner tag.
Good luck!

I highly recommed any current Illinois resident to buy a lifetime hunting license. If you end up moving out
of the state you will not be charge the non resident hunting rates per my mother n law, lol.
She worked at the state park and was up on the laws. when I moved to Wi the lifetime license was
500 and something and boy I wish I would of gotten it.

Peakrut,
Actually, my Father notified me of the lifetime license loophole, SIX MONTHS after I switched state residency. Now when I go back home I get all these local legal experts telling me that I should put a small shack on my property, get a mailbox, and declare myself a state resident. Yeah, right, that's gonna go over like a lead balloon when it comes time to apply for an FOID card. Federal pen here I come.[

I hear ya brother, I did the same thing. I email dnr and they are currently working on changing the loophole.
I have emailed them back and asked if there will be a grandfather clause.

RE: Ill deer hunters ???
I would like to see the acreage requirements for a landowners permit lowered. However, the politicians probably aren't going to be too interested in what a non-voter wants. There would also be the issue of where to draw the line on the minimal acreage. I think that 10 acres would be a nice figure, but the folks with 9.5 acres are likely to disagree.
