As of a few days ago, there were still over 8500 NR Combination bow tags available. And, there are a few gun tags left in some counties as well. We still have a few openings in the third week of November, which is a prime time to be bow hunting.
We started hearing that gun tags were showing up in the mail last week. So, keep an eye out for them if you are gun hunting with us this year. If you haven’t received yours by Oct 1st, you will need to contact the IDNR to see what happened.
We also have spots available in the second firearms season, and the muzzleloader season. And, don’t forget that any unused tags can be used in the late antlerless season. We have special rates for that time, and always have lots of action on those hunts. This year the state has added extra hunting days. so there will be plenty of chances to fill your freezer, and help us with our management plan at the same time.
