Sign in to contribute

Greene County in southwestern Indiana offers a distinctive hunting character shaped by the legacy of coal mining and the forests that have reclaimed the landscape around it. Greene-Sullivan State Forest provides extensive public hunting land through rolling second-growth timber and reclaimed surface-mine fields that create productive edge habitat. White-tailed deer and wild turkey both benefit from the diverse cover, making this one of the better public-land hunting counties in the southwestern quarter of the state.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling terrain in the western coal belt region; mix of reclaimed surface mining land, row-crop agriculture, and second-growth hardwood timber characteristic of southwestern Indiana.

Hunting pressure

Moderate; forest terrain disperses hunters and the area draws committed public-land hunters rather than casual pressure; weekday access is generally uncrowded.

Tags & permits

OTC statewide license; Indiana standard antler restriction applies statewide.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey populations are strong given the forested terrain and reclaimed mine grassland edges that create ideal turkey habitat; archery turkey hunting in the timber is particularly productive.

Highlights

Greene-Sullivan State Forest is one of the better public-land deer and turkey destinations in southwestern Indiana; the coal country landscape creates diverse habitat edges that consistently hold game.
