What is all required in order to hunt public In Illinois archery? Do you have to be drawn or can you buy oc license and tags?

[@southernrootsOD]

Archery tags are over the counter but not limitless. The state only sells a certain number of OTC archery tags each year. The last 2 seasons for everything you need it costs about $480

Great hunt and great bow! Love my Obsession bows! What model do you have?

[@southernrootsOD]

This is the Pheonix - believe its the 2016 model! After I got mine in 2018 I let my brother and Dad shoot it... they both switched to Obsessions the next season. So smooth!

[@TheSouthernObsession]

@@southernrootsOD very nice bow! Iv owned about 20 different Obsessions loved all of them different in their own ways for sure, but they are fast and rock solid bows!

[@swamplandoutdoors]

Good hunt man, it’s always a hard decision to shoot when you know you have 2-3 days left in a high potential area. 👍 keep up the good work.
