Young Palmer Lee hopes to one day harvest a buck this big. Lee Farms: Part Two
December 2008
As promised in an earlier “part one” feature on Lee Farms, we recently made a return visit there to see how they were progressing on their infrastructure, primarily the massive two-story all-purpose building.

The author’s old hunting grounds may not have been as plush as some of the modern-day camps he’s visited, but they hold plenty of great memories for him.
My all-time favorite camp revealed
November 2008
No doubt the question I’m asked most often is “What’s your favorite Mississippi hunting camp?”

This Delta-area camp has enviable lodging and deer hunting to match. Can you guess which one it is?

Can you quess the mystery camp?
October 2008
WRITER’S NOTE: When this story first came out, a statewide guessing game started as Mississippi outdoorsmen tried to name the camp. To this date, I have never revealed which camp it was. If you think you know, email me your pick, giving me the camp’s name and location.

This Pete Lake Hunting Club buck cost the author his favorite shotgun, but he feels it was a fair trade. Pete Lake HC better than ever
September 2008
My first really good buck, like many trophy bucks, was taken almost by accident in the mid 1970s at Pete Lake Hunting Club near Sand Hill. It was a 220-pound 8-pointer scoring in the 120s, a nice weight and rack in those days.

It’s a safe bet that the observer was even more proud than the hunter.
Bruinsburg Bruiser ruins hunter for life
August 2008
In 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant’s federal troops crossed the Mississippi River at a sleepy little town called Bruinsburg, where Bayou Pierre empties into the Mississippi below a magnificent mansion named Windsor that later burned, leaving only stately columns standing as mute testimony to the former glory the federal troops saw when they climbed those steep bluffs.

This month’s featured Mississippi Hunting Camp takes me back 44 years to Oxford when Bobby Stewart introduced me to “The Great Outdoors.”

If you like to take your kids or grandkids hunting with you, you may want to think twice before joining a club that has an active nightlife.
Which hunting camp is right for you?
June 2008
Having written the Mississippi Hunting Camps column in this magazine and its predecessor for many years and having authored a book on Mississippi hunting camps, I regularly get calls and questions about those camps.

Uncle Frank’s Log Cabin was a labor of love for Ben Rogers, who hopes that one day his grandson will be able to inherit the land that meant so much to him and his father Frank.
Mississippi Hunting Camps
May 2008
As we’ve shown in past articles through the years, Mississippi hunting camps come in all makes and models, and I have been blessed to have the privilege of visiting a wide assortment, each with its own personality and intrinsic uniqueness.

This month’s featured Mississippi hunting camp, Lee Farms, is like many camps — a work in progress.

The sport of dog-hunting has its detractors, but there’s no denying it’s exciting listening to the dogs work. Lobutcha HC is doggone exciting
March 2008
What do you get when you combine 11,000 acres of scenic rolling woodlands, gorgeous fall leaves, clear blue skies and cool weather with 60 enthusiastic hunters and several packs of hard-running dogs?

February 2008
If I’ve learned anything from visiting Mississippi hunting camps, it’s that they — like all communities — are always in a state of change, sometimes major, sometimes minor, but always changing.

The scenic Tuscolameta River winds its way through the camp’s land before emptying into the Pearl River. Tuscolameta HC: Then and now
January 2008
Then in year 2002

Located in Leake County where the Tuscolameta River empties into the Pearl River about five miles outside Carthage, Tuscolameta Hunting Club is a multiple-use, 4,000-acre camp offering its 60 members a broad array of hunting, fishing, camping and swimming activities. Among the game pursued are deer, turkey, duck, squirrel and coon as well as great fishing in the nearby waterways. A $25 bounty is paid also for coyotes.

December 2007
Located off Highway 28, a few miles from Georgetown along New Hope Road, is a sprawling camp named Hole Hunting Club, so named for a thick, bowl-shaped depression of thick undergrowth in the midst of the camp’s 3,000 acres of leased land.

Bob Lloyd made sure his shooting houses were comfortable. This one provides a great view as well as protection from the elements. Double L — What’s not to like?
November 2007
Located a short 20-minute drive from Jackson is a private 400-acre spread that would be the envy of almost every outdoorsman. Named Double L after its owner Bob Lloyd, this lush land is filled with monster bucks, comfy shooting houses, big-bearded turkeys, pole-bending bass and a cozy cabin to come home to at night. It also has an outdoor fire pit, modern barn with a covered skinning rack, tool shed, horses and ATVs to ride, satellite TV to catch one’s favorite ball games when not hunting or fishing, someone to clean the deer and, best of all, a large congenial family with which to share the blessing.
