In Southeast Mississippi, deer hunters remain stuck in a rut
While most deer hunters have already put their guns and bows away for the season, or will after today’s final day in the Hill and Delta zones, those in the southeast corner of Mississippi remain in a rut.
Make that, The Rut.
“It’s true that down here in the southeasternmost part of the state the primary reproductive period for deer is much later than the rest of Mississippi,” said Justin Thayer, the region’s deer biologist for the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. “We have such a large geographical difference between north and south that we see a large variance in the rut.

November promise – Head to the Gulf Coast for great fall fishing
Why do anglers always look at me cross-eyed when I mention saltwater fishing the Mississippi Gulf Coast in November or even later in year? What, they think this would be like ice fishing in Minnesota or something?

Just dress accordingly, gear up appropriately and get into some of the very best redfish, speckled trout and floundering there is to be had. […]
