Sign in to contribute

Pike County in southwest Mississippi offers a mix of rolling pine-hardwood terrain and rich river bottom habitat along the Bogue Chitto River, which draws both whitetail deer and waterfowl hunters during fall and winter. The Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge along the southern county boundary adds meaningful public land access in an otherwise private land-dominated county. Wild turkey hunting in the mixed timber is popular in spring, and feral hog populations offer additional year-round hunting.
