A conversation over drinks aboard an 80-foot luxury fishing boat off British Columbia led to a Mississippi adventure that landed a Canadian big game hunter one of his most exciting trophies — a 12-foot alligator that weighed over 600 pounds. […]
It broke a trolling motor. It broke a boat trailer winch strap. But what the 697 1/2-pounder will most be remembered for breaking is Mississippi’s record for heaviest alligator ever taken by a hunter. […]
As we have many times in the past few years when we need fillets quickly for a weekend fish fry, my partner and I hooked up the boat and headed to Calling Panther Lake near Crystal Springs Wednesday (Sept. 19).
The 500-acre Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks lake didn’t let us down. Using spinning gear, 8-pound fluorocarbon leader off 10-pound braid, and drop shot worms, we quickly started picking off our targets — undersized bass that are in great number in Panther.
So much so that MDWFP biologists urge fishermen to take as many as they want, up to 30 apiece a day, of bass under 20 inches. […]
The cost of hunting and fishing, and wildlife viewing, has gone up in Mississippi, according to an every-five-year survey conducted by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. […]

Tim Taylor didn’t get drawn for the Mississippi public lands alligator hunt, but he ended up with a trophy that will soon be hanging on his wall just the same. “Great photo isn’t it?” said Taylor, who works for the City of Ridgeland Parks Department […]
Nearly two hours into the battle, Scott Lemmons of Brandon had the cane pole and hoop snare in his hand, ready to put the clincher on what he thought was a pretty good alligator. […]
Alerted to a bird approaching from his rear, Joe Watts rose from his stool, spun around, lifted his 12-gauge and filled the Madison County air with No. 8 lead. […]
The way I figured it, I had two choices on the opening day of dove season last weekend, either an afternoon hunt when a heat advisory had been issued, or a cooler morning hunt leaving plenty of time for football. I wimped out, and accepted one of my invitations to a morning hunt. I chose poorly. […]
As silver linings go, this one stinks.Bad.Capt. Sonny Schindler has never seen anything like it, the thousands of dead nutria pushing into the west end of the Mississippi Sound after apparently being drowned by Hurricane Isaac’s storm surge. […]
