When Jonathan Cleveland went to bed on the night of Jan. 15, he had plans to be in a deer stand the following day. However, when he climbed out of bed the next morning, one look outside gave him second thoughts: It was warm, with south-southwest winds gusting to 25 miles per hour. His first instinct was to skip the hunt.Thankfully for the 33-year-old Canton hunter, he changed his mind at the last minute, went to his hunting spot, climbed into his stand.
Fifteen minutes later, Cleveland was standing over the fallen form of a massive 10-point that has been green scored at more than 150 inches Boone & Crockett.
“With it being so warm and the wind blowing, I didn’t think I’d have much chance to see a deer,” Cleveland said. “However,...

Olive Branch angler lands 10-pounder on Davis Lake
- Fishing buddies Sid McNeil and Len Killough had read some reports that big Davis Lake bass were starting to move up creeks in preparation for the spawn, so they took a day off of work yesterday (Feb. 9) and headed to the state lake south of Pontotoc.
“We went primarily to look for big fish,” McNeil said. “This time of he year is when it’s easiest to catch them: They’re going to be fattened up.” 
Big Bass Photo Contest begins
- Springlike weather has already settled in to much of the state, and that means it’s just a matter of time before sow bass begin initiating spawning activity. Oktibbeha, Okhissa, Calling Panther, the Pearl River. The spawn is on the way. 
Giles Island makes like-father-like-son wish come true
- Michael Rogillio was happy when his father Ricky Rogillio downed a double drop-tine whitetail trophy on Nov. 30 while hunting at Giles Island Hunting Club. But the 22-year-old never dreamed he’d have a chance to find out what the saying “like father, like son” meant 61 days later at the same place.

Crappie Connection
To hear Chotard Landing Resort manager Mark Johnson explain it, the shoreline of the lake just outside his back door stretched from the Louisiana levee to the Mississippi levee just about a year ago.
These three lakes are connected to make the Chotard complex, and now is the time when they’re arguably the best in the state.
To hear Chotard Landing Resort manager Mark Johnson explain it, the shoreline of the lake just outside his back door stretched from the Louisiana levee to the Mississippi levee just about a year ago.Such a flood as the one the Mississippi River experienced during 2011 seems like it would have forever altered the landscape within the levees and coerced the Chotard crappie population to relocate when the water finally fell out.
"The only way you could tell there was a lake here was by the tops of the trees," Johnson recalled. "But the lake didn’t change any.
"As far as I know, the flood didn’t do any damage to the lake banks. The Mississippi River’s been doing this for eons; it’s just a part of the cycle."
As for the crappie, Johnson says there’s a possibility that many may have left the lake but just as many might have come into the lake. In other words, all...
