Over-the-counter deer firearm permit sales begin on Tuesday, Oct. 20. Due to recent software updates beyond IDNR’s control, some vendors may have limited availability to print permits and licenses. IDNR is working closely with the license system provider to quickly address the issue for those vendors. To locate unaffected vendors, use the agent locator at https://www.exploremoreil.com/agentlocator.

Selling Timber

The State Forestry Division recommends, to ensure the future growth of desirable trees in your forest and to understand markets; that forest landowners considering selling timber should first consult a professional forester.  Division of Forest Resources has assembled here some basic, important tools and advice for landowners who are considering selling timber. The division keeps a searchable list of licensed Illinois buyers and a sawmill directory.  Timberland owners may contact a local IDNR Forestry Division Forester and/or a professional, private Consulting Forester from the University of Illinois Directory of Consulting Foresters.
