Fifteen-year-old Josh Alford of Brandon knew what buck he wanted to kill when he hit the woods with his brother and uncle during Christmas break because the big 12-point typical had been captured on trail-cam photos several times.What Alford didn’t know until he killed it on Dec. 29 was that it was just a monster Yazoo County deer: It has been green scored by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks at 192 gross inches.
The unofficial net totaled in the 160s, ...

February issue getting printed now
- The staff of Mississippi Sportsman sent the February issue to the printer yesterday (Jan. 17), and subscribers should start seeing it in their mailboxes early next week.
The cover features Will Rives, who arrowed what may be a new state-record archery buck two weeks ago. Inside, the issue is jam-packed with all the information you need to have success in the woods and on the water this time of year. Here's the feature lineup:
Annual deer hunting trip leads to 170-class trophy buck
- Dusty Smith and his father have hunted at Giles Island for the last four years and come to enjoy their annual getaway to the renowned area northwest of Natchez.
Last season Smith killed a fine 8-point that scored about 120. When he and his father returned last autumn for their hunt, he couldn’t believe his good fortune when he knocked down another trophy buck.
Family farm gives up 155-inch Clay County 8-point
- West Point’s Robert Lott was practically born into a deer hunter’s paradise. The 2,500-acre timber farm in Clay County on which he lives has been in his family for four generations and is loaded with deer.
Soon after Lott, his dad and younger brother, headed for their deer stands on Dec. 15, one of the farm’s monarchs stepped into the crosshairs of his scope. That buck, a product of careful management, later scored in the mid 150s Boone & Crockett.Must Read

Late-season bucks are smart and wary, but by changing tactics, you can beat them at their own game.
Randy Pope climbed into his elevated tree stand well before dawn on a recent hunt and prepared for the morning. Pope has hunted big-game animals all over the world and is an expert at finding, hunting and harvesting trophy whitetail bucks.On this morning he chose a stand overlooking an old logging road along the edge of a hardwood bottom that borders the deer’s bedding area.
"Around 6:30 two shots rang out across the fields, and I knew the deer were on the move," said Pope. "Those deer feed in the agriculture fields at night and then travel back to a bedding area that is actually a thicket and sanctuary that is almost impenetrable.
"My plan was to catch a mature buck on his way to bed."
As deer started pouring across the old logging road, Pope turned his attention up a notch while looking for horns. A trophy buck would be across the 50-foot-wide opening and into the safety of the bedding area in the...
