About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedJefferson County rises from the Ohio River in a series of wooded ridges and ravines that make it one of the more scenic and productive hunting landscapes in southern Indiana. The forested terrain supports strong deer and turkey populations, and the rugged topography keeps hunting pressure lower than flatter counties to the north. Clifty Falls State Park and surrounding lands anchor the most significant wildlife habitat in the county.
Rugged Ohio River hill country with forested ridges, steep ravines, and creek drainages; significantly more elevation change than anywhere in northern Indiana
Low to moderate - terrain limits access and reduces pressure on interior locations
OTC Indiana combination license; bonus antlerless tags available statewide
Strong wild turkey populations in the forested ridges and hollows; squirrel and small game hunting in hardwood stands
Ohio River ridge country produces mature bucks in rugged terrain that is unusual for Indiana; turkey hunting in forested hollows rivals the best of southern Indiana
