“One of the most frequently asked questions about joining the DMAP program is ‘what do we get out of it?” said Lann Wilf, the North Region Biologist. “It certainly is a fair question since we are asking these guys to spend an entire hunting season collecting data and sending it in for analysis.” […]
Pitching the idea of harvesting antlerless deer is still a hard sell. In all the years of teaching hunter safety education even though as I counseled the participants that the course was not a “deer hunting” course, inevitably the discussions often turned to those subjects. […]
Basically they want better deer hunting where they hunt.

This is my base recipe, but I am constantly experimenting. I have a penchant for combining two things that taste good separately and seeing how they taste together. […]
When selecting a monthly topic for Happy Trails, my usual goal is to write about something that will allow me to share the knowledge and experience that I have gained through more than 40 years of chasing whitetails. I also like to provoke thought and discussion about certain topics and issues. […]
As regular readers of “Happy Trails” have come to know, I am a trail/scouting camera fanatic, and use the data I derive each season from my web of cameras to tell me when and where deer, and bucks in particular, move on my personal hunting property. […]
Three men and a company, all of Slidell, La., are at the center of a 13-count federal indictment filed Wednesday in Gulfport involving the illegal importation of live white-tailed deer into Mississippi. […]
Steve Rogers never fired a shot during Mississippi’s 2013-14 gun season on deer, but he’ll tell you right away “it is hands down, the best deer season I have ever had.” […]
