About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Fulton County occupies the far southwestern corner of Kentucky, a flat floodplain where the Mississippi River and its wetland tributaries define the landscape. This is premier waterfowl country sitting squarely in the Mississippi Flyway, and the bottomland hardwoods and agricultural fields draw impressive numbers of migrating ducks and geese. Whitetail deer also thrive in the thick river-bottom timber and surrounding agricultural areas.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling Mississippi River floodplain with bottomland hardwood forests, wetlands, oxbow lakes, and row crop agriculture. Obion Creek and its tributaries create extensive wetland habitat. The Tennessee border lies just to the south.

Hunting pressure

High for waterfowl during migration; moderate for deer. The WMA sees concentrated pressure on public blinds during peak migration weeks. Private duck club leases command premium prices in this corner of the state.

Tags & permits

Statewide OTC license. Bottomland deer in the river timber respond to the rut with classic funnel movement through thick hardwood cover.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl is the signature species. Mallards, teal, Canada geese, snow geese, and diving ducks all use this Mississippi Flyway corridor. Turkey inhabit the bottomland timber in spring. Jackson Purchase agricultural fields hold excellent late-season deer.

Highlights

Mississippi Flyway waterfowl hunting is the county hallmark, with Obion Creek WMA providing public access to one of the best duck-hunting landscapes in Kentucky. River-bottom deer hunting adds a quality big-game dimension.
