Sign in to contribute

LaGrange County in northeastern Indiana is Amish country, where traditional farming practices, intact fencerows, and a slower agricultural pace create excellent edge habitat for whitetails in a landscape dotted with glacial lakes and wetlands. The diverse field structure typical of Amish farms produces deer habitat that stands out compared to the large monoculture operations dominating surrounding counties. Access is almost entirely through private landowner relationships, and the county rewards patient hunters with quality whitetail hunting in a low-pressure environment.
