DNR has announced that over 100,000 hunters will be expected in the woods in Iowa for the upcoming Deer "Shotgun" seasons where shotguns and certain rifles can be used.
Shotgun one is Dec. 3-7; shotgun two is Dec. 10-18.
Hikers and Riders might prefer to schedule their visits to Shimek at other dates as Shimek State Forest is open to hunting during these seasons except very near campgrounds. Many horses can be easily spooked by people appearing by surprise by the trail as well as the sound of gun fire nearby. If you are there during these seasons for any reason,
BE SURE TO PUT BLAZE ORANGE ON YOURSELF AND, IF RIDING, PUT BLAZE ORANGE ON YOUR HORSE ALSO.
As always, be safe when visiting the forest.
