Sign in to contribute

Sullivan County occupies the Wabash River lowlands of southwestern Indiana, where reclaimed strip-mine terrain and bottomland timber combine to create exceptional habitat diversity. The 8,000-acre Glendale Fish and Wildlife Area anchors public-land hunting here, offering managed impoundments for waterfowl alongside dense deer and turkey populations. Hunters enjoy genuine opportunity on public ground in a corner of the state where accessible acres can be hard to find.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling, dominated by agricultural fields broken by Wabash River bottomlands, reclaimed strip-mine habitat with regenerating forest, and managed wetlands at Glendale FWA.

Hunting pressure

Moderate - Glendale FWA draws regional hunters but the county remains manageable outside peak firearm season.

Tags & permits

OTC statewide tag system; no antler restrictions.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey populations are healthy throughout county timber and field edges. Glendale Lake and associated impoundments provide duck hunting during migration with both divers and puddle ducks using the area.

Highlights

Glendale Fish and Wildlife Area is one of the most productive public hunting areas in southwestern Indiana; reclaimed coal land provides unique habitat diversity for deer and turkey not found in typical flat farm counties.
