I guess you can call them permits, idk. You have to apply for dates in certain SWAs.Tags?

I have thought of that and am considering it next year. We’ll see though. If I do go that route, I’m going to Wyoming and using the guide as an excuse to get into the wilderness. LolI'm not a high fence guy, bug dang maybe in your case I'd make an exception!
In all seriousness maybe look at doing a guided hunt. You would have a little better chance of filling a tag and also learn quite a bit hunting with someone with more experience.
You both have got this! Good luck!Tomorrow I raise anchor and embark on my 1100 mile journey to CO for my annual elk hunt. The past two weeks I was struggling to sight in my 300 WBY. The first day I struck my shoulder bone and couldn’t hold it together. My 30-06 was dead on so I had a backup. Last week I stopped being a candy ass and got the cannon zeroed at 100. Even shot prone with no issues.
I’m doing this hunt differently. I’m taking this as a time to learn how to hunt with a drawn tag. I’m in process of mental training to live out of my backpack, although we are truck camping. We’re out there for 8 days. Snow and high wind is expected two days before the opener. Then, sunny and dry for 5 days, then more snow.
Biology report suggests the herd migrates to the east to winter. I’ve been keeping a close eye on that neighboring west unit and they’ve had a lot of wind and snow. My plan is to start high and work my way down then back up and down one more time after the final snow. Of course, that plan will likely fall through the floor because of reason xyz. That being said, the real goal is to find elk. I really want to prove that I know how to e scout. If I shoot one, it’s a bonus.
I have the elk tag. Dad has the deer tag. We should walk away with something. Selfishly saying, I hope dad likes soup.
Yer gonna nail it. And your soup bowl will runneth over from all the meat that's gonna be in it.

yeah, I wonder about that two. Used to be a hunting license with habitat stamp was all you needed. Bigger question is where in Illinois is there a huntable population of pheasants. We used to drive up near farmer city back in the eighties and pheasants were all but gone from those areas back then.Tags?
Where I grew up people used to travel from quite aways to hunt pheasants back in the 70's last wild pheasants I saw was probably close to 30 years ago.yeah, I wonder about that two.
