to all illinios residents please help
 

I'm a non resident hunter and I will be going to hunt in pike county with a outffiter not sure which one yet but I was wondering if I could kill two bucks in the same hunt if I got a archery and firearm tag

You can shoot two bucks..one with the bow and one with the gun. Swain Farms offers low pressured combo hunts across the Illinois river from Pike. www.swainfarmsoutfitting.com

Mike Rahe at Springview Acres offers combo hunts like you seek. Contact him at 217-370-0369 for details.

Good luck!

be carefull do alot of research pike is a touchy area right now

this is why we need a EAB for at least your 2nd buck. :(

non-residents aren't limited to 1 buck per year?
I thought only residents could take 2 bucks, but perhaps non-residents can too?

Seriously, if you're gonna pay an outfitter, go to Iowa, or Kansas...just my $.02
I'm an IL resident and I'm building points in IA, if I lived closer to KS I'd probably go there too, and still might down the road...

And seriously we need a earn a 2nd buck tag, especially for non-residents, make that 2nd tag an extra $200 too while they're at it. So if the first tag is $400, your earn a 2nd buck tag would be $600. Although that might encourage poaching, so maybe keep it the same price, either way we need an EA2nd buck tag.

As a non-resident, you can shoot a buck with your bow tag, and a buck with your gun tag.
I imagine your going to pay a lot of money to your outfitter if you do, but if you got it, go for it.

Lots of really good outfitters in the area. Pike as good as anywhere in the world and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. If you want some references on outfitters send me an email and I'd be happy to help!

Yes you can. Here is the IL dnr website link. I would look on there for a list of licensed outfitters. I hope this helps.http://http://dnr.state.il.us/law3/o...listingweb.pdf
