A hunting lease in Mississippi is ideal for hunters who prefer to pursue game in a milder climate. The state has exceptional opportunities for deer and turkey hunters with some of the highest game-to-hunter ratios in the U.S.
Mississippi�s whitetail deer population is estimated to be 1.75 million strong. That�s ten times the number of all hunting licenses issued in the state each year and success rates are high compared to many other states. What�s more, state game officials report a high percentage of harvested deer are older animals.
Mississippi is known for producing huge bucks. The state has logged 109 typical and 70 non-typical racks with Boone & Crockett, the largest of which was a monster 295-6/8� non-typical buck harvested in Winston County back in 1995. The largest typical deer in the B&C books from Mississippi is a 184-6/8� buck taken in Adams County in 2011.
The state has a good turkey population estimated at more than a quarter-million birds. In 2019, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks instituted Game Check, a mandatory harvest reporting system to document gobbler harvests by all resident and nonresident turkey hunters. Nearly 9,000 check-ins logged a harvest of 12,627 gobblers from 81 of the state�s 82 counties in 2019, indicating good statewide distribution
