About this unit
Sign in to contributeDaviess County in southwest Indiana blends productive agricultural land with wooded creek drainages along the East Fork White River system, creating a strong deer county with significant turkey populations in the timbered bottoms. The county is predominantly private farmland with a rural character that keeps hunting pressure at manageable levels. River-bottom hardwood stands along the White River have long been prized by local hunters for consistent deer encounters.
Gently rolling to flat agricultural land with significant hardwood timber along the East Fork White River and creek drainages; productive mix of grain fields and river-bottom hardwood forest
Primarily private farmland; some public access via IDNR easements along White River corridor; Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area in adjacent Greene County draws regional hunters and offers nearby public land
Moderate — solid deer numbers on mostly private land; local hunter base with limited outside pressure keeps competition for access manageable
Indiana statewide OTC license system; antler restrictions apply statewide; antlerless permits available
Wild turkeys well-represented in creek-bottom and river-corridor timber; some waterfowl hunting opportunity along East Fork White River backwaters and flooded fields
East Fork White River corridor provides excellent river-bottom deer hunting with classic ambush setups; county Amish farming community maintains habitat-friendly land practices that benefit deer and turkey populations
