Vernon County features flat to gently rolling ag ground broken up by fencerows, ditches, and timber belts. While the habitat is fragmented in places, it funnels deer movement in predictable ways. This is a practical county for field-edge hunting, especially during rut phases when bucks cruise cover lines between feeding and bedding areas.
