Sign in to contribute

Montgomery County in west-central Indiana is agricultural hill country bisected by the scenic Sugar Creek corridor, which cuts through sandstone ravines and hardwood timber to create one of the more visually striking hunting landscapes in the state. Deer and turkey hunting are both solid, with river bottom deer movement concentrated along Sugar Creek and its tributaries. Most land is private but the creek corridor and adjacent state parks provide limited hunting access.

Terrain & elevation

Gently rolling agricultural uplands cut by the Sugar Creek valley, which features sandstone cliffs, hardwood timber, and wooded riparian corridors. Classic west-central Indiana mixed farming and creek bottom terrain.

Hunting pressure

Moderate — Crawfordsville area hunters and those from Indianapolis use the private land network; creek corridor access is limited and competition for permission is real.

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter; standard Indiana deer license for all seasons.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey are well established in the creek corridor timber and adjacent farm woodlots. Some squirrel hunting in the mature Sugar Creek hardwoods.

Highlights

Sugar Creek corridor provides scenic river bottom deer and turkey hunting; fall foliage bowhunting in the sandstone ravine country is a distinctive Indiana experience.
