A popular ramp, and the only one on the Rankin County side of the main lake body between the dam and Mississippi Highway 43, has received a complete face lift. […]
Faced with a deadline to get a TV segment shot for that night, cameraman Wesley Harris and I couldn’t give in to the treacherous weather conditions Tuesday (March 5). […]
Fishermen wasted little time, hitting the water Thursday in numbers surprising for a supposed workday. That’s what you get when it’s the first day in over a week when weather would allow for safe boating access.

When Mississippi’s youth turkey season opens Friday (March 8), a veteran hunter who has introduced two sons and many other youngsters to the sport says accessorize for success.
“I’ve learned over the years that there are three things that are vital for success when hunting with children — a blind, decoys and shooting sticks,” said Revel Rawlings of Ridgeland. “I’d rate them in importance in that order, starting with the pop-up-like tent blinds to the shooting sticks. […]
