This expansive zone is located in the northeastern part of the state, bordering Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. It consistently ranks among the top areas for turkey harvest each season, making it a prime location for hunters. Most of the region consists of private land, featuring a mix of croplands, creek and river bottoms, and mature forests. Although private properties present the best opportunities for success, hunters who invest time and effort into scouting public lands can still achieve their goal of filling a tag.
