In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, host Matt Wyatt sits down with longtime Mississippi Outdoors TV host Amanda Mills — a familiar face to anyone who’s watched the show over the past two decades.

Amanda shares how she started with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks back in 2005, the surprising phone call that put her on Mississippi Outdoors TV for the first time, and what it was like to grow up watching Melvin Tingle before eventually working beside him. She talks about her favorite hunts, deep-sea trips, bear den checks, alligator checks, and the people who shaped her journey.

The conversation touches on her childhood in Clinton, raising two daughters, juggling multiple jobs, and why she still drops everything for an opportunity to hunt or fish. Amanda also reflects on the legacy of Mississippi Outdoors TV — the longest-running state agency outdoor show in the entire country — and the joy of being recognized by viewers who grew up watching her.

Mississippi Outdoors is produced by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.
