Straight Shootin'
Try a light-goose close-out hunt
Goose hunting can be extremely productive this time of year under the Conservation Order regulations. It’s February. You’re sick of deer hunting. Your rabbit dogs are dead tired. The woods are too wet to squirrel hunt. Turkey hunting is more than a month away. It is way too cold to fish — besides the bass boat is still in storage.

Proposed deer-hunting changes awaiting House action
If a bill working its way through the state Legislature becomes law, gun hunters will gain 22 extra days in which to chase deer. A proposed legislative bill that would increase gun hunting for deer by 22 days has the endorsement of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. House Bill 1282 passed out of the House wildlife committee on Thursday (Jan. 21), and is awaiting full consideration of the House, which has until Feb. 11 to act on bill or will die on the calendar.

In his own words: Rocky LaGrone's 165-inch Claiborne County buck
New York's Rocky LaGrone has hunted in Claiborne County's Six Forks for a decade, and the annual pilgrimage finally paid off Jan. 14 with this trophy. The damp of the January morning (on Jan. 14) drove straight to the bone and clung like steel traps, much colder than the dry snow and sub-freezing temperatures I’d left behind near Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the day before. But then, that’s the way it’s always been down South – a cold that courses your body; one that numbs the toes and finger tips, tortures any exposed surfaces and makes the sway of an errant limb feel like the lash of an angry whip. I know the pain of Southern cold ever so well: I grew up in Shreveport, La., just about 200 miles east of where I was creeping Indian style through the undergrowth of Claiborne County.

155-inch buck with double main beam killed in Amite County
Louisiana's Wayne McAndrew killed this deer Jan. 13, after leasing a 450-acre Amite County tract just before the hunting season began. Wayne McAndrew stumbled across a piece of Amite County property available for lease in August 2009, and jumped at the chance to start his own club. While the tract of land only encompassed 450 acre, McAndrew soon knew he had made the right decision. “The first or second week of bow season, my buddy (Brad Balado) actually got a picture way on the other side of the lease of this buck,” the Louisiana hunter said. “Our jaws dropped when we saw the picture.”

Mahannah produces trophy buck
Waveland's Eddie Peterson knocked this 169 5/8-inch buck down Dec. 16 after an unknown hunter directed him to Eddie Peterson had made the drive from Waveland to Mahanna Wildlife Management Area for a draw hunt, but hadn’t had much luck until they ran across another hunter who had killed a pretty nice deer. “He didn’t tell us, ‘Go here,’ but he told us a general area to go to,” Peterson said. So during the mid-day lull on Dec. 16, the hunter and his buddies eased in to find stand sites.

Brandon youth drops 158-inch buck using Vienna Sausage
Will Foreman, 13, shot this 158-inch buck less than 30 minutes after pouring Vienna Sausage juice out the window of his shooting house - a tradition that began at 5 years of age. Father Terry Foreman, right, couldn't believe the buck came anywhere close to their shooting house. Will Foreman has hunted with his dad since he was 5 years old, and a tradition developed for the youngster during those days afield. “We had a routine: He likes Vienna Sausages, so I’d bring a can of them and a (cold drink) to the stand,” father Terry Foreman explained. “I’d open that Vienna Sausage, and he’d eat three or four, and then he’d pour that juice out the window of the stand and say, ‘The deer are going to smell that and come out.’”

Protein makes big difference for Washington County hunting club
Greg Hackney arrowed this 140-class 9-point on Sunday (Jan. 10), and has seen bucks even larger after he and his fellow hunting-club members embarked on a supplemental-feeding program that called for 16 tons of protein. All experienced deer hunters know there are two components to producing big bucks: age and food. Clubs will often have one without the other, but one Washington County hunting club has married the two to produce an impressive herd of deer.

Louisiana hunter bags first bow buck on Washington County hunt
Louisiana hunter Joey DeVeer, left, was proud to finally get his first bow buck, this 120-class 8-point, while hunting Tuesday on Washington County property owned by Bassmaster Elite Series pro Greg Hackney (right). Joey DeVeer picked up a bow three years ago, and he’s killed a number of does. But he’s been waiting for that special buck before putting his first bow buck on the ground. That special buck showed up Tuesday (Jan. 12) while the Gonzales, La., hunter was on Bassmaster Elite Series pro Greg Hackney’s Washington County property.

Massive buck taken in Monroe County
Starkville's Kenny Watkins had to take a break from looking at this buck because he was shaking so much after it walked into a Monroe County food plot Dec. 2. The stand on the Watkinses' Monroe County property had produced a couple of 130-inch bucks last season, so it’s been popular with the family. So it was no surprise that Kenny Watkins decided to sit the stand – even though it was technically his father’s – when he arrived on the afternoon of Dec. 2.
