About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedGreene County in southeast Mississippi is defined by the Chickasawhay Ranger District of DeSoto National Forest, which blankets much of the county in managed pine-hardwood forest. This is big-woods Piney Woods country with the Leaf River and Chickasawhay River drainages providing rich bottomland habitat for deer and turkey. The abundance of national forest land makes Greene one of the most accessible public hunting counties in the state.
DeSoto National Forest pine-hardwood uplands with Leaf River and Chickasawhay River bottomland hardwoods. Sandy soils support longleaf and loblolly pine with white oak and water oak in the drainages. Terrain is gently to moderately rolling throughout.
Low to moderate. The scale of national forest acreage means hunters can find genuine solitude even during gun season by moving away from primary road access points.
OTC statewide license and deer permit required; antler restrictions in designated south MS zones; bag limits consistent with south MS regulations allowing multiple deer per day with antler minimums on bucks.
Eastern wild turkey populations benefit from large pine-hardwood forest blocks. The Chickasawhay River bottom is known locally for productive spring turkey hunting. Squirrel and rabbit seasons are also popular in the national forest during fall.
DeSoto National Forest Chickasawhay Ranger District provides among the best free-access deer and turkey hunting in south Mississippi. The Chickasawhay River bottom offers a remote big-river hunting experience rarely found on public land anywhere in the Southeast.
