Madison County lies in the southeastern Ozarks and features rugged hills, rocky ridges, and deep timbered hollows. The terrain is thick and remote in many areas, providing excellent bedding and low-pressure cover for whitetails. Hunters who focus on terrain features like benches and saddles often find mature deer moving on thermals or using elevation to travel.
