Can you hunt coyote all year round in Illinois?
What permits or licenses do I need to hunt in Illinois?
In general, anyone wishing to hunt in Illinois is required to purchase a hunting license. There are some exceptions to this requirement.
In most cases, a state habitat stamp is also required.
Waterfowl hunters will also need both the state waterfowl stamp and the federal waterfowl stamp (federal waterfowl stamps may be purchased at US Post Offices or selected DNR offices).
In addition to the license and stamps, species-specific permits are also needed.
Anyone born after January 1, 1980, will need to have a copy of the Hunter Safety Education Certificate available while hunting.
Hunters wishing to use firearms need to obtain a Firearm Owner Identification Card (FOID) from the Illinois State Police.
