Default Illinois Firearm Question??

Guys I was wondering if you could use a firearm tag during muzzleloader season with the use of a muzzleloader, because I know you can use a muzzleloader during firearm season?

No. You must use a muzzly and only a muzzy during that season.

Yep, You can use a muzzleloader during the shotgun season, but during muzzleloader season you can only use your smoke pole. If they let the shotgun hunters hunt the muzzleloader season we would essentially have 3 shotgun deer seasons.

As stated, you can't use a firearm tag during the muzzleloader only season. You can use a muzzleloader during the firearm seasons with a firearm tag and you can hunt the second firearm season with a muzzleloader tag as long as the counties are the same. For instance, if you use both your firearm tags during the first firearm season and have muzzleloader tags for the same county, you can use them the second season. If your ML tags are for a different county, you could hunt the second firearm season there.

And you can use your left over muzzy tags in the late season (with a muzzy) for does only ("clean up"). Only in counties that are open for the late season and not in a special draw area unless you are re-drawn.
