Sign in to contribute

East-central Mississippi county anchored by the Chunky River corridor, Lauderdale County offers gently rolling pine-hardwood hills and river bottom hardwoods in a landscape that transitions between the Piney Woods and the Tennessee Hills country to the northeast. The large Meridian metro area drives moderate hunting pressure and private lease demand, but the river bottoms produce quality deer and turkey that reward persistent hunters. Chunky River WMA is the main public land anchor for hunters without private access.

Terrain & elevation

East-central Mississippi featuring the Chunky River corridor, gently rolling pine-hardwood hills, and river bottom hardwoods. The terrain transitions between the Piney Woods to the south and the Tennessee Hills physiographic region to the northeast.

Hunting pressure

Moderate, driven by the large Meridian metro area. Private land carries significant lease pressure and available ground is competitive.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey hunting is productive along the Chunky River bottoms and hardwood drainages throughout the county. The river corridor is the focus of quality hunting and concentrates both deer and turkey in the bottom timber.

Highlights

Chunky River WMA provides the main public hunting anchor in the county; productive deer hunting in river bottom hardwoods that are often overlooked by hunters focused on the national forests farther south.
