Ok so I live just across the river in Indiana. I was going to apply for a tag, and it says to send in $125 with it. Is that just to apply or will that cover the tag if I'm drawn? And if I don't get drawn do they still cash the check or is it no charge?
Also if I only put one season/county on my preferences, will they just assign me to a random season if that season/county is not available? Bc I only have one season where my schedule allows it. Thanks for the help.

You get your money back if not drawn. You will only get drawn for season and county you apply for.

IL DNR will charge you $125 to apply. If you draw your tag the $125 covers cost. You will also need a hunting license and habitat stamp which will be additional money. The DNR will not assign you a different season or county. If you are not drawn for desired season and county you will get refund of your money. Hope this helps.

i would suggest you apply online since the deadline for the 3rd lottery is tuesday, feb. 9
actually, you should have applied for the second lottery in which non-residents have preference but that app period ended jan. 11
if you go to the idnr site, you can find out if your preferred county and season still has available permits

Stay across the river.  WE ain't got no turkeys!     Seriously, good luck.  The IDNR website is pretty good.  You can also call them and get some good help.

Hahaha I know you are joking and a little serious. I understand the out of state hunter situation, it can get frustrating. I actually work in IL and pay il state taxes so I think I oughta get some slack!??

No turkey tag sales OTC. Keep applying and you'll get what you want if available. You can look online and see what is available on the IDNR web site.

Illinois sucks, primarily because they want to deprive me of the right of self-defense by not honoring my concealed carry permit, but also because of other government restrictions like that above.  I understand that Illionois is controlled by the Chicago mob and I sympathize, but I choose not to spend my bucks in Illinois.  If any of you have any suggestions on how we can deal with New Orleans, they will be appreciated.

[nsselle]

What? Chicago mob? Lol.  OP, what county you trying to hunt?

[silvestris]

It has to do with the mob controlled legislature that doesn't believe that I should be allowed to deal with the evil that exists.  Remember, when evil appears, the cops are only minutes away.  That is why I don't go to Illinois, California, Jersey, New York and a couple of other states.  It is just a personal decision I made when I made the decision to carry for my own personal protection and the protection of my loved ones and perhaps the life of some innocent stranger.  I have never had the necessity and pray that I don't.  But I have become more vigilant.  And a better turkey hunter too.
