The southern portion of the county touches the Talladega National Forest, giving hunters access to a significant block of public land. Wild turkey are common along forest edges and in the more open valley habitat near Anniston.
Appalachian foothills terrain with pronounced ridge systems, narrow hollows, and hardwood-dominated coves giving way to valley agriculture near Anniston. The Choccolocco Creek drainage and associated ridges create natural travel corridors for deer throughout the county.
