Sign in to contribute

Spencer County stretches along the Ohio River in southwestern Indiana, combining river-bottom bottomland hardwoods with rolling upland terrain and the southern edge of the Hoosier National Forest. White-tailed deer and wild turkey both thrive in the county's diverse mix of forested ridges, agricultural fields, and Ohio River bottoms. The Hoosier National Forest presence in the northeastern portion provides meaningful public hunting access in genuinely hilly, wooded terrain.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling to hilly with Ohio River bottomland hardwoods in the south, forested upland ridges throughout, and agricultural fields on the gentler slopes; Lincoln City area marks the transition zone between farm ground and timber.

Hunting pressure

Moderate; Hoosier NF access draws some outside hunters but the county lacks the concentrated public land pressure of counties deeper in the national forest.

Tags & permits

OTC Indiana combination license; antlerless tags widely available.

Species & seasons

Turkey are abundant and well-distributed across the forested ridges; Ohio River corridor provides waterfowl hunting during migration with duck and goose opportunities in the bottomlands.

Highlights

Ohio River bottomland timber produces exceptional rut hunting as bucks cruise terrain features; Hoosier National Forest tracts offer walk-in public land hunting in a genuinely hilly, wooded landscape.
