You guys bitchin' 'bout how you can't hunt out of state.....blah blah blah. I can't even hunt in my home state of IL. The fat azz governor has closed all state owned land.

How about Federal land?

Federal land is open but you need a county permit to hunt. I don't have a permit. One of the downfalls to our system. The governors appointed, do nothing DNR director, also claims that the no refund policy the state has means no refunds will be issued to those with state land permits. She worked on the Obama administration, so go figure.

There are some tags left for later seasons, if you don't have 3 site specific tags, which would be hard to pull of you may still be able to hunt.

But I am with you, it's a BS deal, no refunds or tags re issued, my cousin drew 2 great state tags he has to eat!

Yep, first year my wife and I put in for Illinois site specific tags and my last. Eating my 1st season permit.

Cheddarheads called us from Northern IL FIBs and rightly so ;)

My old roommates from the Milwaukee area used the FIB term for anyone from IL (but primarily from Chicago) visiting WI in the summer.

State(s) should offer refund for any unusable tag (do to covid closures).

So far, IL is the only state I know of posturing with a no refund policy that only applies to state owned ground permit holders. NR can still hunt too. But as a resident with a state ground permit I'm out a hunt and money. I will fight the later though.

I look foward to NE and KS early archery hunts. Found out a week ago that's out. IL governor shut down state ground, so residents and NR alike are out for fishing, hunting, hiking etc. It stinks

A sad failure of Government, an example of panic knee jerk reaction and no common sense. Turkey hunting is extreme aversion to other hunters, a solitary pursuit. You can only shake your head.
We wait all year,why not enjoy the longbeard coming in hunting for a hen, let 'em' in close !!!
