Public hunting

Jesse Owens State Park
Jesse Owens State Park is a success story in environmental stewardship, conservation, and reclaiming land for outdoor recreation. Located in Morgan County and surrounded by thousands of acres of land open to public use, the park is teeming with wildlife. A popular hunting area, the park offers four primitive campgrounds at no charge.  Additional acres are available for hunting and fishing in the adjacent wildlife areas.

Appalachian Hills Wildlife Area
​The combination of woodland, open areas, and islands of vegetation left undisturbed during the mining process creates transitional zones that provide brushy and reverting fields. These areas are prime habitat components that provide excellent hunting opportunities. White-tailed deer, cottontail rabbit, turkey, mourning dove, squirrel, and grouse are the principal game species.
