The only prohibitions to hunting in the State of Illinois as far as that is concerned is if you are under court order for providing child support and need to use a crossbow, or possibly not having the ability to legally possess a firearm (that isn’t an “antique or replica antique” muzzleloader [aka., the standard muzzleloader]) due to the fact that you have a felony conviction. But even these restrictions can be overruled by a court order if you file a complaint against the State police and get a lawyer. A lot of Illinois residents do this. The F.O.I.D. card system is pretty much unconstitutional anyways, much like many other Illinois laws. No other State in the United States has a ID card system for firearm possession and ownership, except Illinois, which is retarded at best….. But bowhunting and trapping are 100% legal.
