Planning a hunt in Mississippi

Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks’ wildlife management area resources should lead you to a named WMA and its current hunt information. Keep that individual area’s map with your trip notes.

Before choosing a date, compare the WMA information with current statewide regulations and any hunt procedures relevant to your plan. Mark a confirmed entrance and parking location rather than the nearest edge of the public-land polygon. If access depends on water or unpaved routes, check current conditions with the area contact.

Check the property and the route

Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.

Use with Free Hunting Map

Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.

View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
