Turkey Bluffs
State Fish and Wildlife Area was purchased with a 75% matching grant
from the USFWS with Pittman-Robertson funding. The 2,264 acre area
is located south of Chester and features scenic
overlooks.
The site is
open for fishing, hunting, hiking, horseback riding,
and observing wildlife. Squirrel, wild turkey, and deer are the
most common game species. Upland game species such as rabbit and
quail also occur at the site primarily in the open areas. Dove hunting
is provided in large sunflower fields on the area. Hunting for all
species with statewide regulations is permissible at Turkey Bluffs.
