Outdoor Marijuana Growing

So, I'm new to growing in general I've definatly done some reaserch, but not everywhere fills you in on all the info. I thought it would be cool if anybody had any tips with various things.

-General Outdoor Growing In Illinois
-Pests (Insects/Animals)
-Good Strains For My Climate
-Location Tips
-Great Planting Times

I live in a rural area that is much more than a skip and a hop from the next house with plenty of woodland. I think I lucked out because, I also live near a creak. It extends for a great distance too. I also receive alot of visitors in my house and I also have a freind whos a cop, so this leads to a problem with inside germination and curing inside. In fact basically everything has to be done outside. I also own large animals, so plenty of good, well you all know where that leads. Anyways does anyone have Tips for anything above?
