In the spring of 2024, the state of Mississippi tried to introduce a statewide turkey stamp, and unfortunately failed. There are several acclaimed reasons for the stamp not being able to make it through the house and senate- more and that can be found in the links below- but what's more important today, is that the turkey stamp has another chance. House Bill 553, would establish a statewide turkey stamp that would generate funds that would be solely used for wild turkey conservation, research, and restoration projects. In this episode, we dive into more details about the turkey stamp, why & how we all should support it, as well as BIG announcement about our Turkey Season Kick-off event coming up on February 27!

Ducks and Geese are truly one of the most unique natural resources that we as sportsmen and women have to enjoy, and that is because they are truly a shared resource. Migrating throughout the country, in an impressive fashion, and finding a way to live rent free in many of our heads, it's no secret that waterfowl hunting, waterfowl management, and the future of both is something that we care deeply about. Houston Havens has been the waterfowl program coordinator for Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks for over a decade. In this conversation, we lean into his years of experience to better understand season structuring, bag limits, waterfowl food preferences, land management for waterfowl and more. Check it out!
