Often a hunter that has just collected a huge-trophy class buck comments that it was their “buck of a lifetime.” And Mona Owens was no different when she laid out a huge deer the day after Thanksgiving. […]
If you plan to go deer hunting on Saturday, the first day of December, take note: Due to the 2012 calendar, there is a change in the usual hunting season schedule. […]
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.” […]
Capt. Chris Bush of Southern Salt Charters has been putting together impressive boxes of trout in record time by fishing soft plastics on deep ledges in coastal rivers and bayous ranging from Ocean Springs all the way to Bay St. Louis. […]
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.” […]
When Landyn Murphy’s “buck of a lifetime” walked into view Nov. 12, it was her mom Cameron Murphy beside her, not her dad Danny, her usual hunting partner. […]
Early deer season is often a struggle in South Mississippi, where warm temperatures and inactive bucks and does can make even the most devout hunters think about… […]
To hear Jeff Martin and his daughter Cameron of Lexington tell their hunting story, we know that there was a “whole lot of shaking going on” in their deer stand on last Thursday (Nov. 8).
So much so that it’s a miracle that Cameron Martin, 10, was able to take the shot that led to her first buck — a 9-pointer her father said would be a trophy buck for anyone. […]
First, there was a good run on big bucks in early October during the opening weeks of archery season, which biologists always expect when deer hunters first climb stands in deer habitat.
Then, the reports of trophy racks slowed and, eventually, ended.
Expected? Yes, but not simply because the big bucks disappeared after human intrusion into their home ranges. Instead, biologist Chad Dacus, Mississippi’s deer program coordinator, pointed at many factors. […]
Doe control hits high gear today (Nov. 5) in most of Mississippi as the primitive weapons season for antlerless deer only begins in the Hill Country and Delta zones (formerly Zones 1 and 3). […]
The tricks thrown at fishermen by Mother Nature in late October are gone now, and that should produce a treat as the first weekend of November approaches. […]
The hot, windy summer has finally given way to much cooler fall temperatures. This is a favorite time of year for most Gulf Coast anglers because these cooler temperatures bring the larger trout to the inside bays and bayous, making limits of keeper trout much easier to catch.
One of the most-productive areas this time of year is Graveline Bayou, which is nestled between Ocean Springs and Gautier (pronounced Go Chay by the locals). […]
