It’s never too early to plan ahead for fall wildlife food plots. It may be hot as a firecracker outside with sweltering humidity to match, but the universal targeted Labor Day planting date is fast approaching. […]
In 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant’s federal troops crossed the Mississippi River at a sleepy little town called Bruinsburg, where Bayou Pierre empties into the Mississippi below a magnificent mansion named Windsor that later burned, leaving only stately columns standing as mute testimony to the former glory the federal troops saw when they climbed those steep bluffs.

Pickwick Lake on the Tennessee River, located in the corner of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, is making a comeback this year. The grass is growing in the lake, and the largemouth are responding to the additional habitat. The fishing has been really good there this year. […]
I just had one of the best crappie-fishing experiences ever, and I’d like to tell you about it. The Magnolia Crappie Club held the Magnolia State Crappie Championship on beautiful Wolf Lake recently.

Not certain if that buck moving through the woods meets your club’s minumums? We tell you how to be sure. […]
If you are a firearms enthusiast, by now you have heard of the decision by the Supreme Court of the United States on June 26 in the Heller case. […]
GPS units navigate by satellites that circle the earth twice a day at an altitude of almost 11,000 miles, yet the system can take you back to within a boat length of a location you saved in memory. Thinking about that makes my head hurt, so like most other fishermen, I prefer to just take the system for granted. […]
Fishing has heated up this month off Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. Although snapper season will close in August, anglers still can catch plenty of fish in deep water. […]
