Mississippi is a land that is full of hunting opportunities. The presence of a massive river and almost impenetrable delta regions across the state make it a paradise for various wild species.
Apart from that, the fertile land and crops of many areas of Mississippi attract quails, pheasants, razorback boars, and other birds and beasts. It also has one of the largest herds of deer in North America.
