I hate paying it but it IS getting pretty crowded in SWMS. I live in Metairie but both of my parents were born in MS fwiw. We have family land.

Over 60% of MS license generated conservation revenue is from out of state hunters. Theyd take a huge hit without them.
The high license cost just means I'm going to shoot as many legal deer as I'm allowed to over there. I get my money's worth.

Let’s go ask Mississippi Whitetails Facebook page for their thoughts lol.

You own the land, not the wildlife. That belongs to everyone, and if we start messing with that model of conservation we will all be hurting before long.

okay, but does that mean the wildlife belongs to "everyone" equally, or do "residents" who just happen to be born on one side of an imaginary line own it "more"?

I travel to ms to hunt cause I’m not hunting a skeeter infested swamp where I need hip boots or waders.
I do occasionally hunt the swamps around home but I’d rather hunt dry land.
I own 2 acres where my mobile home is and hunt (wife and 2 boys) a large club that has school board land and timber company land. So on top of lease fees we pay the property taxes on camp and the school board land. Also dump a ton of money into the state cause we buy everything local up there.
If I had my way we woulda moved there but youngest son doesn’t wanna leave his friends so I have at least another 5 years of living in LA.

If Mississippi kicked out Louisiana hunters tomorrow, each MS hunter would need to pay a whopping $28 a year to replace them. So no, we ain’t going broke without y'all.
Y’all keep acting like Mississippi would collapse without Louisiana hunters, like we’d be holding bake sales to fund game wardens.
Let’s run the numbers since math clearly ain’t your strongest weapon:
Mississippi pulls in about $11.5M from out-of-staters.
Even being generous, let's pretend 70% of that comes from the Coon-arse Caravan crossing I-55 every November.
That’s $8,050,000.
We’ve got 283,000 Mississippi hunters.
Do the math:
To replace every last penny of Louisiana money, Mississippi residents would only have to pay…
$28 a year.
Twenty-eight bucks.
One lunch on the way to deer camp.
Half a tank in your duck boat.
Pocket change in a Realtree jacket.
So spare us the “Mississippi needs us” hero routine.
We’re not passing the hat around Bass Pro begging you to come shoot our deer.
The truth is simple:
Mississippi doesn’t need Louisiana hunters — you need our deer.

The wildlife is owned by the people who agreed to have the wildlife and fisheries manage it and set license prices, structure, etc...
Generally speaking, each state has sovreignty to manage its wildlife except when migratory game is involved (then the feds get involved).
So each state's residents/voters who vote on the laws and structure of that state's government get to theoretically dictate who has what access to the populations wildlife.
So yes, the state line does dictate who has the ability to manage and hunt the wildlife within that given states border because those people get to vote on and decide who is representing them and their interests within the state governement.

Not really. MS residents would make up that 60% by increasing license by $28.
I have heard they were increasing out of state by another $100. To knock an additional $5 off of our resident license.

Again lol if you think MS residents are just gonna pay an additional $28 to hunt.
If you don’t think MDWFP would hurt if coonasses quit buying licenses there you are dumber than your post indicates!!
The only reason MS hasn’t outlawed dogs in the national forest yet is cause of LA hunters coming from Hammond, Tickfaw, Amite and Kentwood areas. MDWFP went up on resident licenses a couple years back but not the non resident all game hunting license. Yeah they increased the deer permit from $5 to I think $100 but that’s when they added the velvet season.
Land owners in MS don’t have to purchase a license to hunt their land right? At least the natives I know don’t purchase a license nor do they abide by rules or season dates or shooting times.
I’m not complaining about the licenses price in MS. $1515 for myself, wife and now 16yr old to hunt there and I’m ok with that. Just don’t tell me MDWFP won’t be hurt if us coonasses stopped buying hunting licenses there.

Let me rephrase the skeeter and mud/water. No where can I drive from my driveway and be on an affordable deer lease within 2.5 hrs like I can when I head north on I 55.
Again I’m not complaining about non resident pricing, just explaining why i do it.
Now I’m 100% with yall MS stump jumpers about coonasses driving the price of land up!

First part yes.
2nd part wrong, see first part
And I can assure you, no decision made in Jackson takes in consideration what Louisiana residents think.
If the land is in your name, and your reside in ms, you don’t need a license to hunt it. Still had over 283k licenses sold to residents.

Just a PSA that one of the best gifts you can get your kids are lifetime licenses. Imagine what NR license fees will be in 10-20 years.

I’m hoping 1 if not both my boys wind up at MS schools whether it be community college or something else so it’ll help with hunting license on our part but it is what it is.

You have to live there. I own 40 acres but live in La. I have to buy a license, but I also hunt in a club up there so i'd have to buy one even if I could hunt my own land without.
