Sign in to contribute

Clinton County occupies rugged south-central Kentucky near the Tennessee border, where Dale Hollow Lake and the Cumberland River watershed create prime edge habitat and public land hunting access along the county's southern margins. The mixed hardwood timber and agricultural clearings throughout the county support healthy white-tailed deer populations in a low-pressure hunting environment. Wild turkey are plentiful on the wooded ridges, and the lake draws additional hunting interest from visitors who combine fishing and hunting trips.

Hilly to rugged terrain with mixed hardwood timber; Dale Hollow Lake creates significant shoreline and edge habitat; Cumberland River drainage shapes the upland landscape.

Hunting pressure
