TAX & LICENSE / HUNTING & FISHING LICENSE

Illinois requires a license to hunt or fish, although youngsters who are under 16 years of age can fish without a license when accompanied by a licensed adult. Fees depend upon residency status and the type of license desired. Licenses can be purchased at a variety of retail locations, although some special licenses are available only at regional offices. For complete information on fees, licensing, exemptions, lifetime licenses, regulations, and hunter education, contact:
