Sign in to contribute

Jasper County's rich agricultural matrix and Embarras River corridor consistently produce record-class whitetails in the Wabash country of southeastern Illinois. Newton Lake provides a secondary waterfowl draw alongside the primary whitetail opportunity in this productive farming county. Row-crop fields loaded with corn and soybeans set up classic funnel hunting along timbered creek and river drainages.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling farmland in southeastern Illinois; the Embarras River corridor threads wooded travel routes through intensive corn and soybean agriculture

Hunting pressure

Moderate; limited public land concentrates pressure at Newton Lake while surrounding private agricultural ground sees lighter, more selective use

Tags & permits

OTC; Illinois statewide antler restrictions apply

Species & seasons

Wild turkey present along river corridors and woodlot edges; Newton Lake provides waterfowl hunting during migration for those who can access it

Highlights

The Embarras River corridor produces trophy-class whitetails on a consistent basis; Newton Lake adds a productive secondary waterfowl destination for hunters who work both species
