Mississippi wildlife officials encourage turkey hunters to choose their hunting style

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks has issued a reminder to turkey hunters about different hunting strategies. Hunters can choose to actively cover ground or sit patiently for a gobbler to approach.

The department encourages hunters to plan their approach based on their experience and the terrain. Both methods can be effective when done responsibly and with proper safety precautions.

Hunters are also reminded to follow all state regulations and to respect wildlife laws during the hunting season. For more tips and updates, officials suggest visiting the department’s website or social media channels.
