MS 2007-08 Hunt & Bag Limits

Last week I picked up the Mississippi 2007-08 Outdoor Digest, which is a publication by the MS Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, to read. It includes information and regulations on hunting and fishing, State Lakes, Hunter Education, State Parks, License Requirements, Wildlife Management Areas, Boating Safety, and much more. In Mississippi you have two deer management zones. Zone 1 - a legal buck is an antlered buck deer with antlers of four (4) points or greater may be taken. An antler point is define as any antler protrusion that would hold any size ring. Zone 2 - a legal buck is an antlered buck deer with antlers of four (4) points or greater AND either a minimum inside spread of ten (10) inches OR a minimum main beam length of thirteen (13) inches may be taken. An antler point is defined as any antler protrusion that would hold any size ring. Vicksburg, MS is located in Zone 1. Here is this seasons info and bag limit list:
