Sign in to contribute

Marshall County wraps around Lake Guntersville, one of the Tennessee River's largest impoundments and one of Alabama's most celebrated waterfowl destinations, where migrating ducks stack up in enormous numbers along flooded timber and backwater flats each fall. Whitetails in the county's creek drains and agricultural edges are healthy and well-distributed, though hunting pressure near the lake's popular recreation corridor can be significant. The combination of premier waterfowl hunting and solid deer country in a compact geography makes Marshall County a versatile destination.
