dsharp01 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Im looking for some info on turkey hunting in Illinois. From what Ive read there are multiple seasons comprised in the spring season. Is the license good for the entire spring season or just for one of the sub seasons? The ILDNR site doesnt tell much so am hoping you guys can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsharp01 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 So it's not good for the entire spring season, just 1 of the 5 ?? Where I'm from in NY the turkey tag allows me to hunt the entire spring season and kill 2 birds. Whats the bag limit in IL..... 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ILDNR site doesnt tell much so am hoping you guys can help. In Illinois we have 5 seasons, when you apply you will be asked which county and which season you want to hunt. So not only are you limited to only 1 part of the TOTAL 5 seasons you are also limited to 1 county instead of the entire state. Only landowners with more than X acres (think it's 40 could be wrong) are allowed a tag that lets them hunt there own private land for the full 32 days. Your permit is good for 1 turkey. IL allows up to three permits. As a nonresident you would need a turkey permit, either an IL NR 5-day hunting license or IL NR hunting license, and a habitat stamp.
