    If you live in a state that borders Illinois you may buy shells. If you do not live in a bordering state, you have to purchase a non resident hunting license in order to buy shells. Last I knew a 5 day non resident hunting license was around $35.

    It means if u go to Sparta, you'll get screwed--its not worth the trip, unless you're chasing all American points and you risk not getting shells,too

    There are plenty of shell at the grand for sale.Pallets stacked up 2 high at the shell house.They wont run out of shells for the grand.
    Show your paid entry and buy your shells.This keeps the non shooters away that just hoard the shells and sell them at the gun shows.
    I have been at gun shows where their were tables full of the Federal 4 pack that Walmart sells except they were $50 for the 4 packs.
    The hoarders clean out the Sparta Walmart on a daily basis.They had a pallet of 22s that no one was interested in..
