Hunting & Fishing in Mississippi

Mississippi offers classic Deep South hunting and fishing, with bottomland hardwoods, the Mississippi Delta, and a Gulf coastline all packed into one state. Hunting guides in Mississippi focus on a deep whitetail tradition and the state's famous Delta duck hunting, where flooded fields and brakes draw mallards down the Mississippi Flyway. Wild hogs are abundant and huntable year-round, and the spring turkey season is well regarded.

Fishing in Mississippi spans freshwater and salt. Inland, guides work reservoirs like Ross Barnett and Grenada, the latter famous for slab crappie, plus the Mississippi River for catfish. On the coast, charters out of Biloxi and Gulfport chase speckled trout, redfish, and offshore species in the Mississippi Sound and beyond. With affordable access and abundant game, Mississippi is an underrated destination for traveling sportsmen.

Top Hunting & Fishing Regions

Tips for Hunting in Mississippi

  • Book a Delta duck hunt for the December and January peak, when migrating mallards flood the region.
  • Fish Grenada Lake in spring for the giant crappie that draw anglers from across the country.
  • Take advantage of year-round hog hunting on private land, a low-cost way to extend a Mississippi trip.
  • Check Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks zone rules, as deer seasons differ by region.

Did you know? Grenada Lake regularly produces crappie over three pounds and is often called the crappie capital of the world.
