Helllo, I'm a land surveyor from Mississippi. I've been hunting for about 40 years - mostly for whitetails, and have been very successful at it. I'm looking to hunt other big game now. I have bow hunted a good bit across the Midwest for whitetail and black bear. I rifle hunt a good bit as well. I am also a writer, and enjoy writing and telling hunting stories; both my own and others I have heard.
 
Here are a few of my favorites that were easily accessible.

Welcome! Spent some time down there at Camp Shelby. Place still gives me nightmares, you could walk from the outside showers to your room and be sweating like a stuck hog.

I live about 30 minutes from there and have done a lot of surveying and engineering work on Camp Shelby. Lots of rattle snakes there! I did the initial survey work for the new tank range back in 1999-2000.
 
Saw you posted this in March. Hunting season is under way almost everywhere. Have you had a chance to find a new place and game to hunt? I was just in SE Oregon and had a very dismal deer hunt but did kick up more than 100 chukar. I'm definitely going back out there. The season started on 10/10. By the way, I noticed the deer population in Mississippi is pretty large. Do you think it's worth it for a fella to get a non resident license and fly down there to hunt? I'd like to find a way to fill the freezer every year instead of racing other hunters up the hill to see nothing like in Oregon. What are your thoughts?
