It’s mostly older threads and a lot dry up because everyone realized that everything they put on the internet as far as a am area name gets picked on key words and pressure blew up on a lot of places. L B L would be a good option for what you are wanting to do. Tons of land, to
Much to over pressure in archery. Gun season different story. Invest in permethrin

Yeah I guess that makes sense, well how about we make a bit of a change on this thread,
“what are some tips for any OUT OF STATE hunt”
Not really state specific, but maybe an area of the country you hunt.
Such as,
I would recommend, if for some unknown reason you wanted to come hunt MS, I would recommend you throw out most any aerial map besides using it for roads or water because all our woods look the same from the sky haha. Gaia GPS is great for public land boundaries and roads and such, we don’t really have enough terrain differences to need topo too much, but some areas could benefit from it.
I would also recommend good moisture wicking, early season clothes(they can be worn a great portion of the year) and definitely a thermacell. We stay hot (95-80) until around thanksgiving(with exceptions of a couple cool snaps). Then we cool off to the 60’s some until Christmas, and we even get 40’s and the occasional freeze during January. Of course the temperature will still fluctuate from 80 to 35 from day to day throughout our ‘winter”.
If you have an issue with snakes, I would highly suggest snake boots, because they’re everywhere down here ha.
During early season (oct 1-first part of Nov), woods are pretty empty, until sometime in November when the orange army comes out, then there is a truck every 1/4 mile on the sides of the roads. Rut tends to be between early December and a little after New Years, depending on how far north or south you are.
The WMAs are usually well maintained with nice roads, trails, and food plots. Most everybody I’ve encountered while hunting has been nothing but respectful, and I am the same to them. If you’re parked at a trailhead, unless there is another 200 acres down that trail they will pass on by.
The Homochitto National Forest allows running dogs (not getting in on that debate), so if you have something for it, or against it, you better read the season dates close during gun season. We are a rifle friendly state, although a lot wmas are still held back to primitive weapon. (Bow, muzzleloader, and single shot rifles such as .35, .45-70, .444) Other than not really having a whole lot of “farmland” outside of the delta, pretty much our whole state is a giant thicket. Be prepared for skeeters, ticks, red bugs and snakes of a large variety.
