About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedDrew County in southeastern Arkansas blends pine timber uplands with bottomland hardwood drainages, supporting diverse hunting that includes deer, turkey, and one of the more accessible black bear populations in the state. Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge borders the county to the west, and the Saline River corridor provides additional bottomland hunting character throughout the season. Monticello anchors a region where timber management and hunting culture are deeply intertwined in the local economy and identity.
Gently rolling Coastal Plain terrain transitioning from managed pine uplands to bottomland hardwoods along the Saline River and Bayou Bartholomew. Timber company land covers large swaths of the county while creek drainages cut through the pine-dominated uplands. Bottomland hardwoods thicken toward the Ouachita and Saline River confluences in the west.
Moderate. Public land on Felsenthal NWR sees concentrated use during deer and bear seasons. Private timber leases organize the bulk of the county hunting with structured access.
OTC under standard Arkansas regulations. No antler restrictions apply. Mixed pine-hardwood setting rewards stand hunters near mast-producing white oak drainages.
Wild turkey hunting is solid through the bottomland and pine-hardwood mix with good spring gobbler activity. Black bear are present throughout the county with the south Arkansas bear zone encompassing this area. Felsenthal NWR bears range into surrounding timber tracts regularly.
Access to Felsenthal NWR makes Drew County one of the more accessible black bear hunting options in south Arkansas for public-land hunters. The Saline River bottomlands produce quality deer and offer excellent squirrel hunting in the mast-producing hardwood timber.
