Non-Resident Archery-Ill.
I see the starting date for accepting applications is like June 1st. My question is is this considered first come, first serve or are the applications entered into a lottery draw? I'm an uninformed PA hunter, sorry for the dumb question.

It is not really a lottery anymore. Anyone who 'applies' gets their tags. They have not met the 'NR quota' for several years. You could get a tag yet this year if you really wanted one. Season ends Sunday, the 17th.
Nothing to worry about unless they change the rules next summer.
Good luck-

I can see that happening, especially someone who has never hunted anywhere other than say PA. I went to Nova Scotia several years ago on a rifle hunt. Up until that time the largest whitetail I ever shot was lucky to go 90". On the third day up there a 140" nine point stepped out and I swore it was a new Canadian record! Needless to say it's on my wall and still the biggest I've shot yet, gun or bow.
