Info on Wanye County, MS

Has anyone ever hunted in Wayne County, MS? I'll be hunting in the area for the first time at the end of December.

yep. i hunt there atleast twice a year and i hunted there for 4 years fairly heavy. lots of pretty land lots of deer. i hunt in waynesboro and did a little bit of hunting in mathersville. tons of white oaks and hard woods. i never killed any huge bucks but they are there. Last season i seen the darkest deer of my life. Young 6 point and i almost shot him just because of his color. The main problem i have with hunting there is the same problem i have everywhere i hunt. the mature bucks go nocturnal pretty quick!

good luck and wear your safety harness

Rut should Kick off around Christmas. It will be wide open the last week of December. Mean Conception date for Wayne Co. is Jan. 17th.

live 20 miles from there. some awesome woods in all areas of wayne co. especially around the bucatunna river swamps.

Hunted at Tara back in Nov. 2000 and Nov. 2001. Saw some great bucks and took a big 7pt. in '01. You ought to catch the rut action just right.

Appreciate the replies. This is the first time that I will be hunting out of state, so I am hoping to have some luck and see a lot of deer. Also, I am hoping to kill my first hog.

have you checked into the license? $384.00 with archery permit if i remember correctly
