I actually like the lotto system and the only thing I would change is resident only firearms permits or the muzzleloader permits be not restricted to a specific county. It always happens that I draw for one county and find a monster on some property I can hunt in another county. Oh Well I enjoy it all regardless.

The county thing perplexes me as well. But, I come from MI, which is basically a free-for-all system, all tags OTC and you can buy tags during season as well. One extreme to the next.

RE: 1st lottery for Illinois firearm deer permits.
The whole by county thing is for deer management or trying to manage the deer herd in Illinois. So many permits issued for certain couties, some more, some less. Same way when the had the first handgun season. First year that was 10 counties and then it's progressed up a lot more. I'd also like to see them sold over the counter. I have a friend that hunts in Missouri and they can buy them that way but I guess they have a database so they control how many permits per county...don't quote me on that though. I do know that he has a assigned hunter number for the state of Missouri even though he is a non resident. I think Missouri has a good system.

Myself I think the lotteries for counties and firearms and OTC for bow is good.
