Deer hunting around Poplarville MS

Poplarville is much nicer than Carriere/Picayune in my opinion. The town is great also. Deer are small but generally plentiful. Hogs can be a problem. I have a lease in Carriere and a place in Poplarville. The deer seem to be much more pressured in Carriere area.

I live on the Carriere/Poplarville line, on the west side. My land borders old river wma. There is some great deer hunting along the bottom land of the pearl river in carriere and poplarville. Try and do your homework best you can, because I've found hunting quality can vary greatly around here from area to area withing just a few miles. There are lots of hogs, and turkeys seem to be making a good comeback in pearl river county. I've been up here since 08, I'd be glad to any specifics i could about a certain area.

Thanks all for the input. It seems like West of 59 is similar to an area I used hunt around Kentwood in terms of consistency. To say it was hit or miss would be an understatement.

In general Picayune on northward do appear to be nice areas.

I have hunted our place in Poplarville most of my life. We are west of town.
Deer are small and very jumpy, but there are a few big bucks around, just at 3 am or if you're lucky to see them chasing.
We burn, so turkey numbers have been great for us. We shot 3 toms last season on 175 acres, and there were a few left in addition to jakes. We are even seeing/hearing a few coveys of Bobwhites.
We used to have a lot of hogs, but we don't see them as often. Part of me believes its due to us burning. I'm really not sure. I just know that around the time we started burning, 6-8 years or so, until now, hogs are not as plentiful.

There is a good population there but the deer are smaller than youre probably used to
