Quick Tips
GOHUNT Maps are recommended to help navigate this area
The dates leading up to the rut will see more daylight activity from bucks than other periods
Private lands typically offer the best chances at big bucks, but some big bucks come off public
Ozark County is rugged, remote, and packed with dense hardwoods, cedar thickets, and narrow hollows. The terrain is challenging, but it offers excellent bedding and low-pressure hideouts for mature bucks. Success here often comes from targeting terrain bottlenecks, especially along benches and ridgelines with historical deer sign.
