Well that was fun, sort of...
I got to the forest preserve I go through which is about half way through my commute back home and there is a sign it is closed for deer culling from 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour after sunrise, from November through March! Well my only alternative to getting killed on route 56 was to take sidewalks fo some way, then get on city streets until I got to my subdivision. A shorter but more stressful ride for me.
