The
smell of fall is in the air, and you have buck fever. But you're sitting
in your armchair in the middle of September, waiting for November to roll
around so you can go back to Mississippi. And with more than 1.7 million
deer in the state; it is no wonder you are thinking about this deer hunting
paradise. But it doesn't have to be that way. There is a way to increase
your deer hunting days afield and experience some of the most challenging
hunting around today. A deer hunt in Mississippi is your ticket to keeping
your skills tuned and your freezer full.
Mississippi Outfitter's bow hunter package is just the ticket to begin the deer hunting season amidst the brilliant Fall colors of October. Success is improved by the calming effect on the deer from the long, hot summer and their established movement patterns. Very similar to our gun hunts for whitetail deer, our bowhunts provide all of the necessities for the serious bowhunter, including ranges to sharpen your skills.
If bowhunting is not
your bag, we have gun and primitive weapon hunts. Like our bowhunting
areas, the prime deer hunting areas in Mississippi employ a deer management
program to maintain deer density and physical condition, improve antler
development and allow the harvest of both sexes. This allows the hunter
a better chance for a trophy deer. Harvesting a buck weighing more than
200 pounds is not uncommon. Our outfitters carefully select locations
for our tree stands, which have been constructed for safety and comfort.
The stands are in position weeks prior to the season and our experienced
outfitters scout regularly to move stands when the deer change their movements.
Mississippi's
vast bottomland hardwood swamps have "turkey hunter" written
all over them. In fact, the turkeys for stocking parts of the Southeast
were trapped many years ago in Mississippi. The fertile soil provides
abundant oak flats, chufa fields, bahia grass, natural foods and insects.
Combined with the proper management, this formula yields what? Long beards.
Unlike dove, our turkey
hunts consist of a one-on-one hunter to guide ratio. This gives you the
advantage of hunting with a guide that's familiar with the regions wild
turkey population, habitat and habits.
Few things are more
appreciated than a Southern quail hunt. The fields of Mississippi and
its rolling hills offer some of the South's finest habitat for quail.
Our quail areas have been managed by professional biologists. The 
native
quail population is constantly supplemented with selective strains of
flight conditioned birds for fast wing shooting action.
And while you're here
you may want to sharpen your shooting skills on one of the many sporting
clay ranges. So if you enjoy getting together with a group of friends
for a friendly quail hunt, plan it in Mississippi. Special accommodations
are made for corporate outings and board meetings.
In Mississippi, we celebrate September and the beginning of the harvest season in a special way... action-packed dove shoots. Our many sunflower fields are managed specifically with doves and the dove hunter in mind.
Hunters
are transported to one of the many sunflower fields where fast flying
doves test one's shooting skills. And as a bonus, we will keep you refreshed
during the hunt with cold drinks... and update you on your favorite football
scores
As with our quail
hunts, you may want to sharpen your shooting skills on one of the many
sporting clays ranges. So if you like a lot of action, plan a dove hunt
in Mississippi and you won't be disappointed. Like most of our hunts,
special accommodations are made for corporate outings and board meetings.
Nothing is more exciting than the harmonious sounds of beagles in hot pursuit of a cottontail or canecutter rabbit. If you come to Mississippi, be prepared for excitement as you leisurely stroll down the many brakes and creek banks flushing rabbits in all directions. Hunters who can't walk long distances or need special care need not worry about this type of hunting.
The mighty Mississippi drains water from 31 states and two Canadian provinces. "So what?," you ask. Well that means that, like Arkansas, Mississippi is also on the smallest end of the funnel. And that means ducks...by the millions!
There
are more than 125,000 acres of natural wetlands and managed impoundments
throughout Mississippi, offering some of the finest duck hunting in the
America. With state-of-the-art management techniques in place, we over
winter hundreds of thousands of ducks on their journey south. During their
stay, they are feed a gourmet diet of rice, soybeans, millet, corn and
natural seeds. Our formula for success is simple. We combine this abundance
of food with the fresh, pure water of Mississippi and the results are
outstanding. The natural wetlands and the managed impoundments get overrun
by waterfowl which makes Mississippi a very exciting place to be during
hunting season.
Whether you choose
a duck hunt in flooded timber, in a rice field, or in the mighty Mississippi
River; it's guaranteed to be action-packed. And if you need to sharpen
your shooting skills, you will surely enjoy our many ranges for sporting
clays. Like our fantastic fishing; it's hard to beat duck hunting in Mississippi.
In fact, it is probably our best kept secret. Seeing the sun rise, hearing
ducks calling and watching an occasional turkey come off the roost...it's
absolutely breath taking.
