Deer hunting in a national wildlife refuge swamp is not quite like hunting anywhere else. Generally speaking, deer hunters are universally advised to scout and then hunt well off the beaten pathway used by the majority of other hunters. […]
Some 24 years ago, David Klimek, the owner of Tunica Farm Supply, had a great idea. He would start a deer contest, award prizes for the biggest deer harvested and maybe in the process generate a little more traffic to his store, which sells deer hunter supplies and apparel. […]

The Magnolia State is blessed with an abundance of quality whitetail habitat available for public hunting. In all, Mississippi offers deer hunters more than 2 million public hunting acres, comprised of 46 wildlife management areas, 11 national wildlife refuges and six national forests.

Deer hunting the early archery season in Mississippi is quite a bit different in some ways than hunting the rut or late-season. Bucks in October won’t be fighting for does; rather, some will still be in bachelor groups. It is not uncommon to see several bucks hanging out and traveling together this time of year. […]
Sometimes you can do everything by the book and still come up short. In those situations, all you need is a little luck on your side. And such was the case on Nov. 23, 2009, for 13-year-old Walt Stubbs of Greenville. […]
