About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedClark County in eastern Illinois combines productive river bottom agriculture with some of the finest timber habitat in the region, anchored by the Embarras River corridor and the old-growth forest remnants preserved within Beall Woods State Park. This mix of mature timber and agricultural edges creates excellent whitetail and turkey habitat with more cover diversity than most central Illinois counties. The eastern Illinois location along the Indiana border gives the county a wilder character than counties to the west.
Rolling terrain with the Embarras River cutting through mixed timber and agricultural bottomlands; Beall Woods contains rare old-growth forest remnants; uplands are primarily row crops interspersed with timber draws.
Moderate. Public land draws hunters but acreage is sufficient to distribute pressure across the unit.
OTC statewide Illinois tag system; archery, firearm, and muzzleloader seasons available.
Turkey populations strong along the Embarras River timber corridor; Clark County ranks among the better eastern Illinois counties for fall turkey hunting.
Embarras River corridor big deer hunting; Beall Woods old-growth timber offers a rare and distinctive hunting experience in Illinois.
