Archery season is officially open in the majority of Mississippi’s hunting zones.
From now until November 22, hunters are legally allowed to kill deer of either sex on private land, open public land, and the Holly Springs National Forest with longbows, recurves, compound bows, and crossbows.
Archery hunting can occur in the state’s North Central, Delta, and Hills regions. The Southeast region’s archery season will open on October 15.
There is no minimum or maximum draw weight, nor is there a minimum arrow length that can be utilized to hunt. Fixed or mechanical broadheads are also allowed.
“MDWFP wants to remind you to hunt safe, hunt smart, and hunt often,” a statement from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks reads. “Hunters play a huge role in managing our deer herd for future generations, so do your part this season and utilize your bag limit!”
