Today was the first day to put in for Shotgun permits.

Even after reminding 2 hunting buddy's and a reminder on my work calendar, work had me busy all day and had completely forgot.

Fortunately one friend called and was frustrated as all get out going round in round circles on the 'new' site which I wasn't expecting.

Got on the phone with him, we tried all kinds of crap but to no success. For the next part, one big difference between him and I is I have my hunting info in the on-line system and he's only ever bought permits OTC. In fact bet he's not deer hunted of better of 2 decades maybe more.

Now it's my turn. I start navigating to the permits, then I'm forced to create an account with password... ok fine.

You'll love this, filling out my info there's a required drop down selection for Gender. Guess what, 3 to choose from :mad::doh:flame

Fill out my info , next taken to a page for username and password. Ummm, never have done that previously and am quite sure making up one won't help creating my new account :l

Fumble around, get taken through entering the same damn info over and over. Finally goofed around and went to my profile, I think :scratch that's where it was, and found where to create a user name.
Do that and next you'll get an email with link to go back to the IDRN site and create a password.

Ok now I'm set right ? :no

Go through another gammit of entering and confirming info to wade my fat azz back to the permit location.

IDK but finally got it done. IDK how new the system is and hope they will get it user friendly.

Next my other buddy who already had a username and password for the love of god we couldn't get him logged in. Well did once then it went to crap.

Phone number to call for help is disconnected :confused:


Disclaimer : Don't feel like editing as it won't help but the site the account is on and I think permit buying too isn't IDRN it's some 3rd party site or whatever.

In the book hitchhikers guide to the galaxy a man's house is condemned.
The wrecking ball shows up one day out of the blue
He complains I didn't know!
So they postpone a day so he can go see how the plan is public record and has been on display for years. It's at the courthouse in the basement.
No lighting. No stairs.

You really have to read that book the humor is sick.
What I just posted is the lead up to a big joke. The punchline is hilarious.

That sounds the ISP web site to renew your FOID card.
It is total crap.Leave to the IDNR.It wanted me to delete
all my user names and pass words to every site on my
computer.

New site appears to be the same vendor as Wisconsin uses and based on my experience there, its a good thing IL switched. I was able lookup my old IL account and log right in. You don't have to create a username and password, you can look up your account each time you want to log in using one of three options; SSN, customer number (on old licenses), or driver's license.

I tried using it yesterday from my phone and had trouble doing what I needed to do, so did a friend. Going to give it a week or 2 and try again from the laptop.
