Sign in to contribute

Crittenden County in western Kentucky lies in the rolling country between the Ohio River to the north and the Tradewater River drainage, featuring a productive mix of row crop agriculture and hardwood timber that holds respectable deer and turkey numbers. The county has the quiet, unhurried character of rural western Kentucky hunting, with most access through private landowner arrangements. Deer move freely between agricultural fields and timber corridors in this overlooked county that rarely draws hunters from outside the region.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling to moderately hilly terrain; Tradewater River drainages provide timber corridors; mix of row crop agriculture and hardwood woodlots across the county.

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate; rural western Kentucky county rarely targeted by out-of-county hunters; local hunting pressure on private farms.

Tags & permits

Highlights

Low hunting pressure in an authentic western Kentucky setting; productive agricultural deer habitat with minimal competition for access.
