Sign in to contribute

Cass County hugs the Indiana border in the southwest corner of Michigan, where row-crop agriculture and a dense network of small lakes produce some of the finest whitetail habitat in the state. Agricultural edge hunting is the defining character here, with large deer regularly taken near corn and soybean fields. Turkey populations are robust and the county is heavily hunted but consistently productive.

Terrain & elevation

Level to gently rolling glacial outwash plain with numerous kettle lakes, wetland marshes, and extensive corn and soybean agriculture near the Indiana border.

Hunting pressure

High - borderland agricultural county attracts strong pressure from both Michigan and Indiana hunters; private land access is critical.

Tags & permits

Michigan DNR system with OTC antlered tags; antlerless quota tags apply.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey populations are excellent with strong gobbler densities on agricultural land. Kettle lakes provide some waterfowl opportunity during migration.

Highlights

Agriculture-driven trophy whitetail potential; among the most productive counties for large deer in the southwest LP.
