SPRINGFIELD, ILL. (AP) -- Illinois wildlife officials say controlled pheasant hunting opportunities will be available at 19 sites during the 2010-2011 season.
The sites include some where special vehicles are provided for hunters with disabilities.
Other sites offer special opportunities for hunters ages 10 to 15.
The online permit reservation system for sites run by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources opens at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 27 and runs through midnight Oct. 3.
The department says it takes fewer than five minutes to fill out an online application.
Sites run by a public-private partnership also take permit reservations online.
A link is available at the Department of Natural Resources website.
The daily permit fee remains $25 for residents.
