Great news if this survives appeals. Will affect demand for many hunt units. Does not affect my hunts this fall. My units are pretty contiguous public.
BTW - Was fortunate to buy the last LL sold by Illinois in August 2006. Didn’t need it for 13 years but after moving to NW Indiana in 2019 so glad I made the $190 investment. IN public is brutal. 16 day peak rut gun season, 32 total gun days, full crossgun inclusion, no limit on NR’s, no gun...
I drew my first choice for both full season firearm & muzzleloader. Turned up a hidden gem of a public property as a result of annual January scouting. Included five new properties this year. Four were bad to so-so. But hit a home run on #5, then to my relief, drew the gun tag for it. Used my...
Had a 160” directly in front of me 100 yards right next to private fence. Knew if I didn’t break his shoulder he would jump right over. Tried to rest elbows on my knees no dice. Crosshairs drifted all over. Had to pass that shot.
Anybody tried one of these for treestand gun hunting? 95% of my whitetail hunting is archery, but want to start taking our IL gun season more seriously. Drew a great public tag this year. I use the small 14.7# LW Assault climbers exclusively, but their shooting rail gets very poor reviews...

That’s obvious but irrelevant to me.
No matter, I have all I want with a WY elk tag, NM deer tag & IL special draw deer tag. Plate is quite full. With UT, AZ, ME moose & WY deer/lope still pending, but not needed. All long shots.
I did this for my first ever Western hunt back in 1996 VV NM archery elk. Got tired of several friends saying they would go but backed out. So booked a cheap outfitter and felt out of place almost immediately. I arrived 5 days early and went to about the unit. Actually stalked within archery...
You've missed the boat by about 20 years as far as trophy hunts. I started pre-internet 1996 just before social media blew up all the draw odds everywhere. Today the only realistic option is studying up on low tier units in WY, CO & AZ where you may able to draw every 5-8 years & hunt...
I bought the last LL sold for Illinois back in August 2006. They got rid of them due to the 85% fraudulent applications. Best $190 investment I ever made in my life, especially after moving to Indiana in 2019. Garbage public here. Don't even waste my time. I think LL's valid once a guy...
YouDaHoNick,
Hey bud I got some fantastic news for you! Went down to the wire. But after reviewing all the better Nevada deer & pronghorn hunts, I could not find any that overlapped or went around my existing 3 tags well, so I had to put in for points only. This will drastically raise your...
YouDaHoNick,
News Flash - This thread is about Nevada, not Utah.
Again. My post contains no complaints, no mention of draw odds, no dissuasions, nothing about point systems, and not even a mention of any deadlines. Anyone who applies for anything is already getting emails from the state AND...
