Sign in to contribute

Decatur County in southeast Indiana is a rolling agricultural county where Sand Creek and its tributaries provide the primary deer travel corridors through a landscape dominated by row crops and scattered farm woodlots. The county produces consistent deer harvests with bucks that feed heavily in corn and soybean fields before retreating to creek-bottom cover. Hunting is almost entirely conducted on private land, typical of the Indiana southeast agricultural belt.
