Sign in to contribute

Daviess 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.

Terrain & elevation

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

Hunting pressure

Moderate — solid deer numbers on mostly private land; local hunter base with limited outside pressure keeps competition for access manageable

Tags & permits

Indiana statewide OTC license system; antler restrictions apply statewide; antlerless permits available

Species & seasons

Wild turkeys well-represented in creek-bottom and river-corridor timber; some waterfowl hunting opportunity along East Fork White River backwaters and flooded fields

Highlights

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
