[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5031160, member: 2805"] And I thought about this.... If you want bragging rights more than a good hunting trip, it may be worth it to come to SE MS and hunt Desoto National Forest. Literally half a MILLION acres of public land 20 min from my doorstep. Some Beautiful piney woods. And very few birds since Katrina. There are pockets of birds spaced out between miles and miles with no birds. This place used to have a decent population of original birds that have never been restocked from other places... yup, the same decendants of birds the Choctaws used to hunt. But the upside of the dramatic population decline is also the decline of hardcore turkey hunters there. Most folks I ran into just parked on the side of the roads, called from their trucks, then rolled a mile down to repeat the process. I didn't run into many folks when I hiked in last year. Ofc I didn't run into many gobbling turkeys either. But if you can kill one on Desoto, that's some serious bragging rights for those who know turkey hunting in MS. Heck, Dave Owens came here for 3 days last year guided by locals... I bet he never comes back :) But I felt his pain watching his videos last year! [/QUOTE]
