Mississippi Outdoors - (#1517)
 
Giles Island Bow Hunt

Melvin goes to Natchez on his quest for the best hunting environment. He is headed to one of the premiere deer-hunting spots in the state. He is also going to try one of the new draw-loc bows that are available to qualified hunters. The game they see is worth the travel and Melvin gets to go home happy.

Kids Fishing Rodeo

Children gather from all over for the opening of the Turcotte Labs fishing rodeo. Many children get their first chance to land a catfish or harvest a bass. The excitement is contagious as these kids learn what it takes to enjoy Mississippi’s great outdoors.

Frog Grabbing

John Sullivan heads out on this nocturnal adventure. The aim is to do some frog grabbing. John does the unthinkable and joins 4 guys from Vicksburg on a midnight adventure up the Yazoo River to Satartia, MS. They are hand-grabbing frogs for their dinner and the method seems to work. This was a muddy, messy, and definitely worthwhile trip.

Forestry Practices

We examine the number one tool that foresters have for managing Mississippi's forests. Controlled burning is used to keep the forest clear and to create habitat for various species. These fire professionals use preventative burning measures in Mississippi to avoid catastrophic fires like those experienced in western United States. Fire is destructive by nature but we'll also discover what fire does for wildlife in a forest.

Wolf River Clean Up

A group of volunteers gather at Wolf River in Long Beach, MS. Their aim is to clean the river for the upcoming summer season. The event happens every Mother’s Day and has been going on for over 20 years. The annual float trip is organized to pick up trash out of the river that has been dumped or accidentally spilled or lost. It is sponsored by Wolf River Canoes.
