About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Graves County anchors the flat, fertile Jackson Purchase region of far western Kentucky, where vast expanses of corn, soybean, and wheat fields create outstanding whitetail habitat in the river bottoms and field edges. The county's agricultural intensity and mild winters allow deer to grow large, and turkey populations thrive in scattered woodlots and creek corridors. Duck and goose hunters find opportunity in the flooded fields and pond edges common to this Mississippi Flyway county.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling agricultural plain, river bottoms, scattered hardwood woodlots, pond and creek systems

Hunting pressure

Moderate - flat open terrain makes scouting and trespassing obvious; hunting culture centers on landowner relationships

Tags & permits

OTC; standard western Kentucky bag limits; no antler restrictions

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting for mallards and Canada geese is a notable secondary pursuit in flooded fields and farm ponds; turkey hunting is productive in spring; excellent squirrel hunting in bottomland hardwoods

Highlights

Jackson Purchase agriculture produces some of western Kentucky biggest-bodied whitetails; the county position along the Mississippi Flyway makes it underrated for late-season waterfowl action
