Does anyone in Illinois have any insite on this.
I am in Iowa but I have been looking at a few places in Illinois to take my son deer hunting. I have been reading the regulations and it looks like to me that it is illegal to do the gutless method in IL? It says you can check your deer in by phone but if you quarter it but you have to remove the entire carcass. Sort of defeats any advantage to the gutless method. The problem is it is illegal to bring bones to Iowa from out of state. I think this is a deal breaker for us. For the past few years I have been just doing the gutless method and my plan was to just packout the boneless meat.
