TAX AND LICENSE / HUNTING & FISHING LICENSE

Both Illinois and Indiana require a license to hunt or fish, although youngsters who are under 16 years of age (under 17 years of age in Indiana) 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 the appropriate state office:
