Turkeygirl Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I would love to come! I adore Vicki....she cracks me up and must be so much fun...but I probably won't make it because of money obviously, but I hope it continues in years to come because I want to come!

Rhino Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Anyone know what the non-res. and tag fees are right off the top of their heads?? Last year I paid $413.08 for mine. That includes a buck tag and a doe tag. You don't have the opion to just buy the buck tag, I had to buy both. If you want more doe tags you can buy them over the counter for about $15/tag too. Here's a link to the IL DNR's page for non-resident deer hunter information. http://www.dnr.state.il.us/admin/nonres.htm Edited February 18, 2009 by Rhino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswtnhunt Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Sounds like a blast. Would love to go but since I am already going on the Realtree Moose Hunt in Alaska this August I am afraid funds would be a little short. Maybe next year though.

NiteRunner Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Would love to! But the wallet would love it if I didn't. Maybe another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well, I put a call in to reserve a spot, but I haven't heard back, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinch314 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Boy I'd love to go but like most of everyone else it boils down to money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Heard back and it's a go!! I am so excited! It's close enough to drive, too. Which may not be a good thing, because that will allow me to pack too much stuff in my little truck:o. Well, at least I'll have a place to keep it out of the way.

Driving would be a good thing I would suspect, means you can bring back more meat without having to pay hefty shipping. Good luck Deb.

Cool Actually driving to hunt out of state is the only way to go IMHO. I do it every year, even if it takes 2 days of driving to get there. During that 10/6-10/16 week long period of time you're liable to see any type of weather conditions move through so be prepared for anything clothing wise and you might want to pack a treestand umbrella just in case. If you have a backup bow consider taking it too. I've had to go to my backup bow twice on out of state hunts. Don't forget your hunter safety system and RT bowhanger. Good luck and have a good time. Hope to see some pics of you with your hands wrapped around a big one's antlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Having clothes for all types of weather will be a must, Rhino. Eagle Lakes seems to be due west ( 400 miles) of where I live in Ohio and we never know what the weather will be like in 5 minutes! Seems to be the only thing I can say for Ohio weather is that it will be windy at the very least. I imagine that IL will be similar to Ohio, weather wise. Good idea on the umbrella, might have forgotten that one, it's now on THE LIST! Might have to get a new one, I think mine might be a little worse for wear.
