Are you a resident or non-resident of Illinois? Either way, you will just need a regular hunting license and habitat stamp.
Second, yes you can use the mini-14, but I would use ballistic tip ammo for they don't skip like the heavier ammo does from the .223 for the houses are so close is why they won't let us use HP rifles to hunt deer with.
Third, no you don't need tags for 'yotes, just plenty of ammo and a place to go!!!! What part of Il are you plannning to hunt?

I would say that with you being in the proximity of Chicago and areas, you may have a hard time finding a place to hunt.
I used to work in Chicago for 5 years and know what you are dealing with. The best thing you can do is go out to the local farmers and start door knocking and see what that gets you. I know there is some public hunting areas up there, but don't know where they are. I used to goose hunt up there, but was only with some of the locals that I worked with who had family who owned property. That and talk with the local Game Wardens and see what they can point you to.

Coyotes
You can't hunt Silver Springs with a rifle. I don't think you can shoot coyotes there unless they changed it in the last few years. Your best bet would be to go west in Kendal Co. and farther and start asking for permission. Don't tell them you are a beginner, because you will probably get a lot more no answers than yes anyway. Good Luck.
