Sign in to contribute

Union County occupies the far western corner of Kentucky near the confluence of the Ohio and Wabash Rivers, providing flat agricultural terrain where big deer feed in vast crop fields through autumn. Waterfowl hunting draws attention to the river backwaters and seasonal sloughs during migration. The county's remote agricultural character and limited public land keep hunting pressure relatively modest.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling agricultural land in far western Kentucky near the Ohio and Wabash River confluence. Extensive row crop agriculture, river bottomlands, oxbow lakes, and scattered timber characterize the county. Some of the flattest terrain in the state.

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate. A remote agricultural county without significant hunting tourism; local hunters make up the majority of the pressure.

Tags & permits

OTC deer permits purchased statewide. No county-specific antler restrictions apply.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting on the Ohio and Wabash River backwaters and seasonal sloughs can be productive during fall migration for puddle ducks and Canada geese. Turkey numbers are moderate across the county.

Highlights

River bottom big buck hunting in vast row crop fields near the Ohio-Wabash confluence; waterfowl opportunities on river backwaters during fall migration
