Most folks call me by my middle name, Travis, not Cliff, so it took me a moment to realize you were referring to me. I have not had the pleasure of meeting David and don't know if we hunt any of the same areas. I hunt several areas along the Mississippi river in wilkinson and Adams county, from the Lake Mary area to the Annas bottom area. I also hunt the Homochitto River bottoms near my home in Wilkinson County.

Travis  I seen where both you and David were in rrealistate so thought maybe you guys knew each other. And with the big deer maybe hunted the same areas.

Dave "Longspur77" Seth "graybarkhunter" and I are all from the madison, jackson area.  We all hunt in Issaquena, Hinds, Madison, and Yazoo counties mainly.

There is one other gent down here in southwest MS that I know who is a member of this forum, but he hunts mostly in Oklahoma.

I'm in Jackson county and hunt mainly on some private land I have access to  but it's like the dead sea at times! I need to be more adventurous and find some better areas to hunt.

Hey guys I'm down in Purvis and hunt mostly at Tallahala WMA and up on Panther Swamp NWR....mostly with Malcolm Parker...we'll be at the Pre-Spring Fling at Tannehill in Feb....

[Axis Thinner]

Steve here,  from Hurley Ms. Hope to get to meet you at the Compton Spring Fling. Maybe we could plan a time for us all to get together and plan something for a Spring or Summer shoot. See you at Tannehill.

[South MS Bowhunter]

Steve,

Glad your on board and sorry I missed meeting you at Mr. Bobby's during Thanksgiving, i'm sure we'll meet soon.

Well my season has been tough so far (Still trying), I have managed to miss 3 does and had a long drought of not seeing anything from mid October till the last week in December.  The below Rattle Snake has been it for me so far, but he was a B&C class

That snake needs to be shoulder mounted. The head on that thing still amazes me

[RonD]

John, the eastern diamondbacks on the Dahomey NWR here in the Delta are as large as the one you killed.  However, it is not legal to kill them on this NWR. The cottonmouths and timber rattlers are just as thick but do not have the length. When hunting I normally wear both snake boots and snake chaps for safety reasons. You guys have taken some tremendous deer this year and I congratulate all of you. I don't deer hunt, instead I prefer to hunt hogs.

I hunt private land close to the ole home front here in central Mississippi. I will be attending the spring fling in Alabama. Their are several of us from Attala county that normally attend the Howard Hill shoot and the spring fling. We need to try and meet up

[Swinestalker]

That rattlesnake is quite the trophy himself! and good eating as well. What are you going to make out of his hide?

[Will Cocke 2]

I have never encountered a live Eastern that is a huge snake.  Cottonmouths are everywhere few timbers,and copperheads but never an Eastern.  Are you gonna skin bow with him or just alchohol and glycerin to tan him.

[South MS Bowhunter]

Guys,

I'm ashame to tell you (as I caught a lot of grief over not keeping the hide on this one), but I was not in a position to save the hide due to rising temps and I was away from home on a day hunt.

[graybarkhunter]

you coulda made a pair of boots, skinned 3 bows, made a purse , hat band, belt, a quiver hood, and still had some left over to do another bow  :D       .. na sorry you werent able to salvage him

[Onehair]

Travis, you need to do the Spring Fling. I may take the tipi. You can kick a few rocks out of the way and curl up by the fire.

[Swinestalker]

Sorry, double post.

[Swinestalker]

If I can possibly make it I will. When are the dates again?

[Onehair]

22-24 of next month.
