Hey guys, I've read topics off this forum for a long time but for some reason never joined up. I've been a member of the hunttalk and monster mulley forums for a long time. I'm from MS and have been public land hunting all of my life. I started bow hunting at the end of high school and have been hooked ever since. I still break out a gun every now and then but only when the occasion or tag calls for it. I mainly whitetail and hog hunt in MS but was able to hunt in the west for the first time this past year in CO. I will be back out that way for elk in September. Just wanted to say hello and good luck to all this fall.

I heard of an optometrist down that way that was a pretty fair big buck whitetail killer with a quirky sense of humor.

Publichunter1 - Welcome! Glad to have you! Looking forward to great things from you!
This is kind of like a big family over here. Some you really enjoy and some that are just a real PITA!
Great place to learn and grow as a bowhunter...

Buffalo1. Hickory Flat in north MS and Flowers near Vicksburg. What about you?
From: Buffalo1
21-Jun-17
Very familiar with Hickory Flat in Benton Co. Also very familiar with Flowers.
My feet hit the ground and grew in Vicksburg, so I am very familiar with Vicksburg and Warren County. You are hunting in some of the best part of the state.
Bowsite includes some of the best bowhunters there are. This site is educational, informative and entertaining. Welcome

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. Didn't expect to find so many people from my neck of the woods.
Buffalo1 it is definitely some of the better public ground I've ever hunted however there is definitely no lack of pressure on it. When I get back to MS this fall we might have to get together and go on a hunt. Cajunarcher could come along too.
Thanks again to all for the welcome.

Wilson's has always had a good meat processing reputation- both domestic and wild game.
From: shane

Buffalo1, I have been going there for years. They always have good meat. I like that bacon with the rind on it. Smells like crackling when you cook it.
I have been buying their uncut slabs of bacon and grinding it with my deer meat for bacon burger. Taste great.

Butcher, that was my hunting grounds growing up. Holly Springs NF and Upper Sardis. Hard hunting but still some decent ones in there. I still come up a couple times a year and hunt with the family.
As you said its nice to see some MS guys on here.

Holly Springs NF and Upper Sardis were my hunting grounds and fishing holes when in school. Some great memories there for sure.

Howdy Neighbor.... You are supposed to be studying so we can get y'all back here in time for gator season. Gator season just wasn't the same without Lil Nate in the boat.

Haha. Should have known you would have been on here Mr. Martin. I'm studying the wilds of CO right now. Ha. Can't wait to get back on a couple gators this year.
