About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Daviess County occupies the Ohio River corridor in western Kentucky, where broad agricultural flats and river bottomlands create reliable deer habitat. Corn and soybean operations provide late-season food sources that concentrate whitetails on field edges into December. Public land is scarce, making landowner permission on private farms the primary hunting model.

Terrain & elevation

Gently rolling agricultural land along the Ohio River with corn and soybean fields, creek-bottom woodlots, and hardwood timber tracts. River bottomlands provide transition cover between agricultural fields and the Ohio.

Hunting pressure

Moderate. Good agricultural habitat attracts hunters, but most land is private, requiring landowner permission or lease agreements. Competition for leases is real in this productive farming county.

Tags & permits

Standard statewide OTC license covering archery, crossbow, and firearms seasons. No county-specific antler restrictions apply.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey are present in woodlot and creek-bottom habitat. Ohio River backwaters attract dabbling ducks and geese during migration, providing waterfowl opportunity for multi-species hunters.

Highlights

River-bottom agriculture consistently produces mature bucks with reliable late-season food sources. The Ohio River corridor adds a waterfowl bonus during fall migration.
