I met a guy at the beach this summer that is from Marion County, IL. We got to talking about hunting and him and his buddy have alot of land to hunt up there and offered me a place to come hunt this fall. In my research it looks like I can buy a tag over the counter but I am having difficulty talking to a live person at their DNR.

For those that have been I have a couple questions....

• Would I be better off hunting the shotgun or muzzleloader season?

• Can I buy a tag online or over the counter?

I feel like it's a good opportunity to go especially since all I will have to buy is a tag and 3 day license. I welcome comments and past experiences or any advice.
