They post that every year. It’s at the amite county coop too. I’ve often wondered why they have to look for members like that.

I saw a facebook post earlier that portions of middle Glading Rd were under water. We got a whole lot of rain up here.

Congrats on his first deer. I saw your post said you were in Amite county and I was wondering where.

In a stand with my little girl. She’s been hunting pretty regularly this year. Trying to get her another one.
My wife and middle son are in stands west of us.
The buck we’d all been hunting was killed yesterday by a neighbor. I pity a fat doe that makes an appearance.

My dad’s old stand with my little girl. I saw 11 here yesterday afternoon. Hoping for a repeat today with a racked buck thrown in.
My wife and sons are in other stands.
Best of luck to yall.
A set of speed binders for chaining down my excavator. It ratchets using a battery impact. Anxious to try it.
I agree with the 3/4 hp Weston. If you are going to make sausage there are a few other things you will need. Get a good scale for measuring meat/seasoning ratio. A good vacuum sealer is good to have as well. I’d stay away from the $59 version at Walmart. It will frustrate you more than anything.

Box stand on east side of our property. It was my dad’s old stand so it’s where I usually go.
My wife is in tripod on a select cut by the creek. She’s already seen a spike.
My son is in the field where he was this morning.
Good luck…they are moving in Amite County

What do y’all think?


I like it . We live on and hunt on property in SW Ms. My dad bought land in 2002 for approx 2k an acre. Property in the same area is now $5k an acre and not getting any cheaper . I have a contract on 15 acres next to me for 5k and I’m happy to have it.

Also what tax benefits could it provide?


If you have timber that could be considered a tree farm . Deduct your equipment, expenses, fuel, and upkeep.
Talk to your cpa

My son saw 8 this morning behind the house. 4 small bucks and does. The bucks were chasing does out of the woods into the field. My wife and I had some errands this morning but I’ll be in the woods the rest of the week starting this afternoon.

Crazy numbers. When I hunted there 20 years ago it was all separate clubs on from the bridge to the river. The one I hunted was 460 acres and was 14-1500 a year. Your family could hunt also. My how things have changed. The common man doesn’t hunt on Togo anymore.

Good luck…hope the family members stay home.
My neighbors are logging today. I ventured way back off the plots for the afternoon sit. Hope they are done next week.

Brady golf …where you hunting in Norwood? My dad and I hunted there years ago on Wheelock lane off Thompson creek rd. Some of my best memories.

I’ve told my wife for years if I win the powerball, I’m buying Togo.

Yep…not a pine tree anywhere. We had an area they called the blowdown. It was a thicket created by a tornado coming through. It was a deer highway.
No need for corn or any other feed.
I put some Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my son’s truck a few months ago. So far they are wearing well and are quiet.

Speaking more specifically about Togo and Karnac,


I hunted right there across from Karnac lake in Buck Run HC. It was close to the gate for Paradise HC. I loved that place.

Wonder how they caught it. Isn’t SD behind a locked gate. I hunted on Togo a few years ago before primos and SD were involved.

I second Action Transmission in Central. He’s at the corner of Dyer and Blackwater. Great people and great at what they do.

I was planning on buying a Kubota RTV cab machine. That may be on hold now. That would be perfect for running around the woods at home.
