Nothing is more terrifying to a homeowner than a “hot” burglary. That’s what detectives call incidents where cold-blooded cretins, crawling out of their skins with drug addictions, creep a house with the occupants home, generally asleep. […]
“If you have young folks, old folks or a bunch of buddies who want to go fishing and have their strings stretched, their rods bent and their muscles crying for relief, come fish with us at Bay St. Louis Bridge on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in March,” says Capt. Kyle Jarreau of Shore Thing Fishing Charters. […]
My farm in west-central Mississippi is my personal field laboratory for experimentation with trail camera techniques and practices, as I continue to study and learn about local buck patterns.
When used fully and properly, trail camera data can become one of the most effective tools in a hunter or property manager’s toolbox. This is true not only from an overall deer population survey standpoint, but also from the hunter’s standpoint as one learns how to convert piles of trail camera photos into predictions about deer movement. […]
Mississippi’s river lakes and reservoirs provide excellent crappie fishing. Most crappie fisheries contain both black and white crappie, and the whites usually outnumber the blacks. Biologists know the basic biology of crappie and have made great strides forward to manage them. Yet, many questions remained unanswered. […]
We were swapping out units: I was getting a newer take-home unit from one of the other guys. He was getting another unit assigned to him by the chief in our small-town police department. […]
Boy, am I pumped or what! Just about the time I thought I had run out of words to use in this crappie column, someone sends me a picture of some recently caught Eagle Lake slabs. […]
By this time of year, most hunters are worn out. Deer hunters have been in the woods since way back in October. Bowhunters are tired, deer dogs are thin as wheat wafers, even the deer are glad the season has finally come to a close. […]
This month, I’m picking Lake Ross Barnett, near Jackson. To find the bass, we’ve got to shrink the lake and concentrate on where they’re most likely to be and the lures they’re most likely to take. This month, bass have spawning on their minds, and they’re looking for warm, shallow water, and structure in the water in those two areas. […]
Underwater video cameras have been around for decades without gaining the popularity they deserve. They have always delivered decent picture detail, but the older cathode ray tube (CRT) screens used by earlier models suffered visibility problems from glare and grayed out in bright sunlight. […]
This is my inaugural column in Mississippi Sportsman based around the general topic of trail-camera scouting. Each month I will share advice, tips, tactics, strategies and techniques regarding the use of digital scouting cameras that have proven useful to me over time in the successful pursuit of whitetail deer on my farm in west-central Mississippi. […]
Whether your favorite sport fish is catfish or crappie, bass or bream, or any other fish, all fish follow the same biological rules that govern how fast they grow and how big they get. […]
An old chestnut states “Beware the man with one gun.”
The premise is, if a man has only one gun, he’s going to do all his shooting with just that gun, and he might well be able to outshoot you. […]
