brokeasajoke,
You can get a 5 day Non-resident license for $28.75. You may want to check out the IDNR site (
http://dnr.state.il.us/admin/systems/Digest/Digest.pdf) on page 4 to be sure.
Even thought our crops around here are just now getting planted due to the wet weather, the fields will be tall enough by the 4th it will be hard to find an area open enough to do much hunting. The weather is usually pretty hot by then also. About the only place you could find an open field is a hay field which there aren't that many around the Springfield area.
I'm not trying to dampen your plans but just wanted to let you know the conditions at this time of year.
The only other varmints in Illinois active at this time of year are politicians and you'll get in trouble hunting them!
Have a safe trip!
