What license is needed for a non resident quail hunting Mississippi?

The outfitter can probably sell you a license for less and it's good for a year. Check with your outfitter and good luck, it's a blast.

Back in 1983, group of us decided to go squirrel hunting in Mississippi for the opening weekend. All hands licensing. Few squirrels Saturday. Steaks and drinks sat night.

Then on Sunday.......as we dispersed at first light with shotguns in hand, along comes the game warden collecting all ten of us to go to the local judges house where he holds court for the crime of hunting on Sunday . Fined us each a hundred dollars each, cash only.

As we are leaving the judge suggest we do so carefully because there is a state trooper a mile down the road

you are not hunting, you are shooting pen raised birds that have been put out 10 minutes before , shooting livestock, just another money grab

Have you ever hunted (shot at) pen-raised quail ???

Several times a year, twice already this year, a good friend of mine runs an operation in Jayess ms about 3 miles away from my camp, possibly where the OP is going? (Thornhill shooting preserve) and it is fun, it is sporting, it is challenging , but I do not consider it hunting

When’s the last time you hunted wild birds in MS is the better question.

Better question is why do you have to pay the state a fee to shoot livestock.

If you purchased goats from the farmer down the street, and he put them in the woods to allow you to shoot them as they walked by, would you buy a license for private property?

Sure sounds like government overreach to me!

I’m enjoying the heck out of listening to Fire University Podcast. I have 218 acres and plan to burn about 40 acres per year on a 4 yr rotation, plus burn the other 50 or so acres on an every other year basis. The property i purchased was clear cut almost 5 years ago. I did a lot of habitat work this year and have had a few quail and even a few woodcock show up. I start with the fire this year and look forward to the results.

I’ve gone on a few of the pen bird hunts with my dad and enjoyed it. Dad is 73 and in good shape. I hope to hunt quail with him on my place before his days are over. He hunted quail with his Dad when he was young, so it’s still a passion for he and my uncles. Paw paw was a WW2 and Korean War vet and quail hunting was a joy of his!

Experts tell me I can’t do it on 218 acres, but I like a challenge.

I remember 1983 pretty vividly, and I feel certain I did not lay eyes on a real $100 bill at any point in that year .

“You can call me Gary. And you can call me Wayne. But don’t call me Gary Wayne.”

Seconded. And if that’s where OP is going, then Wayne sells licenses.
