When I looked a few weeks ago, I thought I saw deer hunting into the first
week of January but looking again, that doesn't seem to be the case. Here
are the relevant links I believe:
. Pere Marquette Hunting Facts:
http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/landmgt/hunter_fact_sheet/r4hfs/prm.htm
. Illinois Hunting Season Dates :
http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/hunting/Documents/season_dates.pdf

I believe most hunting seasons end on December 31st. The only hunting
allowed after the end of the year is rabbit and quail. So if your planning
on wearing a rabbit fur coat with feathers, you may want to have blaze
orange ear muffs.

My wife and I spent this weekend at Pere Marquette Lodge hiking all the
trails shown on this map: http://www.greatriverroad.com/pere/hikingMap.htm.
With the new snow, it was gorgeous. I found Ravine Trail Cache and Goat
Trail Cache which are in great shape. Hopefully the snow will melt enough so
you can't just find my geotrail. J
I am not speaking from authority, but some of the caches mentioned are on
designated hunting areas and are in season at this time according to the
Illinois DNR and the desk staff at Pere Marquette Lodge. At least one of the
cache descriptions made it seem like public use should be allowed at the
same time as hunting. Since I don't have any experience hunting, I only
wanted to point out what I had found out and let others make their own
decisions regarding those caches. The caches west of Graham Hollow Road are
not in the open hunting area.
Have a Happy New (caching) Year!

Hello Mark,
As a reminder, it is not necessary to do the cache hike to log the meet &
greet event. We are planning to park in a nearby lot and do the "Little
Giant City Cache" (GC133A). Parking is very near the "Wally" cache which we
will do also. The long hike is the "Sierra Club cache" (GCE23) and the
"Dagett Hollow Cache" (GC168F). We are not sure how we are going to do
parking for those until we see who it going. We will then do the Earthcache
if everyone is up to it. We hope you are doing well and look forward to
seeing you on the 1st.
John

Hi John and Laurie,
A very Merry Christmas to both of you.
I have a question for you about the New Years Day Cache hike. I would like
to make the event, but time and health restrictions are going to keep me
from doing any more than perhaps just the first cache in the park. Do you
have a plan for which cache will be first on the list to hunt, and what the
approximate round trip walking mileage might be?
Thanks. Hope to see you on the first. If not, Happy New Year, and enjoy
the snowy day in the woods.
Stay Healthy,
Mark
