New hunter with a question

[joebuck]

Hey, mr. Morrison;
My question is basically about where it is permissible to hunt in Lake County. I'm just starting out, so my primary interest is just rabbits and squirrels. Aside from f&w areas like lasalle and willow slough, what public areas is it permissible to hunt on? For example, an unincorporated area like Ross Township? Or, for sake of example, theres wooded areas on the banks of the little calumet river between griffith and gary. Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

I will begin by stating, I am not familiar with the area you are inquiring about. I would recommend you call our Central Dispatch Center at 8128379536 and have a local officer contact you.

The following applies regardless of where you hunt.

The person hunting is required to have permission of the landowner prior to hunting. In addition to obeying all state regulations, a person must abide by all local ordinances (discharging of firearm or bow). Again, the local officer can provide much greater insight pertaining to the particular area you are wanting to hunt.
