Sign in to contribute

Oktibbeha County in northeast Mississippi spans the transition zone between the Black Prairie soils of the west and rolling hardwood hills to the east, creating diverse deer habitat along agricultural edges and creek corridors. Oktibbeha Creek and Tibbee Creek drain the county and provide bottomland hunting through the season. While the presence of Mississippi State University in Starkville adds some suburban fringe, the agricultural and timber lands that define most of the county remain productive and moderately pressured.
