Allows farm owners and their family members to hunt certain species year-round on their land without a license.

SB2049 amends the Illinois Wildlife Code to allow owners of farmland and their immediate family members to hunt protected species year-round on their land without needing a hunting license. This applies to owners residing on, or bona fide tenants of, farm lands and their children, parents, brothers, and sisters actually permanently residing on their lands. Hunting must still comply with other provisions of the Act, including permitted times, methods, and devices.
