Hosted from Bienville National Forest

Patrick and Janet explore the National Forest near Morton, MS, and find out why Bienville is a perfect place to spend quality time together. The thousands of acres offer hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, and all the fun you and your family are looking for. Patrick and Janet show off their horseback riding skills on Shockaloe Trail, a 23-mile winding path through the forest that is just for horseback riding.

Cypress Lodge Dove Hunt

John Sullivan and Melvin Tingle go to Cypress Lodge Outfitters in search of morning doves. The early season dove hunt takes us to Kilmichael, MS for an action packed event of group fun and fellowship. The action doesn’t stop after the morning hunt, because the bounty continues through the afternoon.

Saltwater Fishing, Football, and Fun

James Bell, the head football coach of Jackson State University, takes to the coastal waters. This time he is coaching the fish to bite in the Gulf of Mexico on a deep-sea fishing trip. Ron Walker hosts this trip to see if the football coach has his fishing game face on as they tackle some large Redfish.

Buckin’ Wild Rodeo Riders

Professional bull, saddle bronco, and bare back riders from Mississippi risk life and limb to win the bucks. The 8 seconds of ride time can be described as “glory” or “terror”. We get down in the chutes with the riders as they tell us why they can’t imagine doing anything else.

Capturing Moments - Joe Mac Hudspeth

He heads to the swamps and explores the wild lands of Mississippi in search of the perfect shot but his weapon is not a gun. Wildlife photographer Joe Mac Hudspeth gives us his tips on getting the perfect photo shots. It takes training, dedication, and a lot of patience to capture Mississippi’s beauty.

Outdoor Equipment to Get Started

From firearms to rods and reels, there is always a low cost option that will get a young person started as an outdoors enthusiast. We take a few minutes with Paul Merritt of Surplus City USA Inc. in Clinton, Miss. to see what the best selection would be for kids. Then we head out to a lake in Jackson with some young anglers.

Wildlife Car Tags

Funding for the preservation of natural resources in our state is made possible in part by the sale of wildlife car tags. Purchasing one of these tags also supports public hunting lands in Mississippi. Many types of tags are available including game animals like deer, turkey, bass, and other wild creatures. Purchasing any tag helps protect and preserve our state’s habitat.
