About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedPerry County in south-central Mississippi is deep Piney Woods country, defined by rolling pine-dominated hills and the Leaf River bottomlands that provide some of the most productive and remote deer habitat in the state. De Soto National Forest and the Black Creek Wild and Scenic River corridor provide substantial public land access with a genuine backcountry character rarely found this far south. Feral hog populations are significant and offer year-round hunting opportunity alongside the traditional deer and turkey seasons.
