Sign in to contribute

Lafayette County in north-central Mississippi offers rolling oak-hickory hardwood country along the Yocona River drainage, with mature upland forests that produce consistent mast crops and support strong deer and turkey populations. Home to the University of Mississippi in Oxford, the county has a well-developed hunting culture despite the limited public land available. Private leases on the river bottoms and upland hardwoods are the primary route to hunting access.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling hardwood hills of north-central Mississippi with the Yocona River drainage and upland oak-hickory forests. Among the most picturesque hardwood hunting country in the state with mature timber stands throughout the county.

Hunting pressure

Moderate. The Oxford metro area generates a larger local hunting population than neighboring rural counties, and most quality ground is held under private lease.

Tags & permits

OTC, standard MS regulations.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey are found throughout the mature hardwood stands and bottom timber. The Yocona River corridor is a classic north Mississippi turkey hunting setting that draws spring hunters from across the region.

Highlights

Mature oak-hickory stands with consistent mast crops attract and hold deer throughout the season; the Yocona River bottom is the recognized focal point for spring turkey hunting in the county.
