Illinois Department of Revenue publication FY 2003-01 Changes for Form RUT-50, Informational Bulletin To: All Form RUT-50 Filers and Persons or Businesses who Provide Assistance with the Completion of Form RUT-50. We have revised Form RUT-50, Vehicle Use Tax Transaction Return, because we have updated our processing system for this form. The laws on which the form is based have not changed so requirements for reporting and filing are the same. The instructions for filing Form RUT-50, which are now printed on the back of Page 2, reflect all of the changes we have made.
Harvest of light geese during the 2002 Illinois Conservation Action was estimated at 17,875 geese, a decrease or 18,955 geese from the 2001 harvest of 36,830. Participation increased to 5,107 hunters during 2002 compared to 4,665 hunters during 2001. Hunters spent an estimated 31,204 days afield during 2002, a decrease of 1,430 from the 32,634 days hunted during 2001.
