Sign in to contribute

Southern Mississippi pine belt county with De Soto National Forest access in its northern reaches, Lamar County blends commercial pine plantation with hardwood drainages of the upper Bogue Homo Creek system. Deer and turkey hunting are the primary pursuits in a landscape that typifies the Piney Woods region, and the national forest provides walk-in access in a county otherwise dominated by private timber. Proximity to Hattiesburg brings moderate hunting pressure on public land.

Terrain & elevation

Southern Mississippi pine flatlands and rolling hills with the upper Bogue Homo Creek drainage. Commercial pine plantation intermixed with hardwood bottoms in the heart of the Piney Woods physiographic region.

Hunting pressure

Moderate. Proximity to Hattiesburg and Purvis brings pressure on public land units, but private timber tracts throughout the county see lighter use.

Tags & permits

OTC, standard MS regulations.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey are a consistent target with populations distributed throughout the pine-hardwood mix. Timber company relationships in the county occasionally open additional walk-in land for hunters who pursue those contacts.

Highlights

De Soto National Forest public land access is the primary draw; classic south Mississippi deer-and-turkey hunting in a pure Piney Woods setting within easy range of the Hattiesburg metro.
