About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedOhio County is Indiana's smallest county, tucked into the southeastern corner along the Ohio River with steep wooded ridges and deep hollows that look more like Appalachia than the Midwest. The Laughery Creek drainage and rugged terrain create natural travel corridors that concentrate deer and turkey in a county that rarely sees heavy hunting pressure. Low competition and mature forest cover give this overlooked county genuine trophy potential.
