Pretty sure permits have went on sale OTC here. Think I'm going to print off an either sex app and mail it in. Only way to get a buck tag for $15 otherwise you have to buy a combo tag, not planning on making soup this year
Anyone in IL wanting one, app is here https://www2.illinois.gov/dnr/hunting/Documents/ResidentEitherSexArcheryDeerPermitApplication.pdf
It's all in jest and good fun, if you couldn't make fun of it yourself I never would have went there. Took me 7 slugs for a doe about 4-5 years ago, thought she was down after the first shot until she came tumbling out of the briars on two front knees and layed down barely in view with obstructions.
I had the same thing happen a few years ago... dropped it in it’s tracks first shot, got back up and ran in the brush. I felt awful but that thing was filled with holes Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
my first buck ever was a nice 2.5yo 8 point. It took 5 20ga Rottweil Brennekes to put it down- even though first one was in the heart. Rest of them were as he ran off. Hamstring, front leg, and then jaw finally dropped him. I walked up and put one in the back of his neck because he was still trying to get up. The first shot was more than enough. I was 16 and didn't know any better.
Been here 15 years...and this will be my first year hunting here. Hopefully my last, too (long as we can sell the house in spring.) Today the wife finally agreed to move across the state line. Will feel good to be a Hoosier again.
Good to see you practice that femoral artery shot. I would hate to think that would be an accidental shot placement.
My brother is currently moving to Illinois (not by choice). I'm hoping we can find a place in Indiana to meet in the middle for some hunting.
