Terry Stewart had a lot to brag about this week after the day he and his dad had Saturday (Dec. 8) in the Magnolia Crappie Club tournament at Eagle Lake, which they won with a 7-fish limit weighing 15.05 pounds.

Waterfowl hunters in the Mississippi Delta are disappointed that the first major cold front of the season didn’t magically produce a massive migration of ducks. It did make two weeks of unseasonably warm weather disappear overnight, and while making it more comfortable to hunt is a good thing, it would be better if there were more ducks to shoot. […]
Mississippi sportsmen have either one of two mindsets heading into the weekend, based on the soon-to-be-ending run of unseasonably warm weather: […]
Normally, a 150-inch 9-point taken from the Big Black River bottoms of Hinds County would not get a lot of attention, but, then, nothing about Wil Moore’s buck is normal. […]

A before-school coyote hunt 300 yards behind his dad’s farm headquarters in Benton County produced what Kyle Simpson, 15, figures is his “buck of a lifetime.” […]
In Independence, a small unincorporated town in Tate County in Northwest Mississippi, one buck has been the talk of the community and the obsession of its deer hunters for three years.
They even gave the odd 10-point a nickname, Hercules, or Herc for short.
“Pretty much all of Independence knew about Herc,” Jody Freeman said. “He was legend and about half the hunters and landowners up here have been hunting him hard, very hard, for a long time. He was like a local celebrity.” […]
