Tallahatchie County could be the hottest waterfowling hotspot in the Mississippi Delta, which is quite a statement given the world-renowned status of duck hunting across the Magnolia State’s Delta region. […]
If you have been deer hunting in the Magnolia State for any length of time, you probably know that there is one particular time of year when your chances of taking a trophy buck are better than average.
Lots of Mississippi deer hunters claim to practice quality deer management, but few are more serious about it than Kolby Byrd of Bogue Chitto. This 20-year-old hunter already has a number of trophy whitetails under his belt, each attributed to following intensive deer management practices.
And while bowhunting a tract of family land near Hermanville on Oct. 6, Byrd was once again able to reap the rewards of his management efforts by arrowing a monster 9-pointer he had been watching for almost two years with the help of several trail cameras.
MS-Sportsman.com user Deerhunter-0817 spent Friday (Oct. 15) morning in the woods, and came out with a fine 8-point to his credit.

Hunters like the Yennies, who take the risk to get out of the box and sit in the woods, know there are key tactics that will tilt the odds for scoring big bucks. […]
Nothing excites a deer hunter more than finding a hot rub site. Seeing one glaring in the morning sunlight gives a similar warmth to the body like a NASCAR driver hearing the “start your engines” command and watching the green flag waving in the wind. […]
Each year, Magnolia State bowhunters dole out wads of cash on the latest models of tree stands, scent elimination products, camouflage patterns, deer calls, doe-in-heat scents, high-tech bows, arrows and broadheads — anything that will hopefully give us an edge at taking a trophy buck. […]
All the talk every season is about the rut, but right now is arguably your best time to kill a big buck. […]
Developed for hunter safety, Hunt Zone Signs are a great way to inform other hunters, hikers, bikers, horseback riders, or anyone else sharing the woods, that you are hunting in the area. […]
