This large zone makes up the majority of the southern third of the state. Great numbers of turkey are found here and this zone routinely sees some of the highest harvest numbers in the state each year. The vast majority of this area is composed of private land and the terrain types will vary between crop lands, creek and river bottoms, and mature timber stands. Like most other zones in the state, this area is primarily composed of private lands but there are some good public access options for hunters willing to put in the time to research these.
