Large-mouth bass caught in north Mississippi

Fall’s cooling water temperatures put crappie and bass into transition patterns across north Mississippi, a process that offers both challenges and rewards to those wetting a line.

In returning to shallower waters with the arrival of cooler weather, freshwater gamefish of every description use this time to their advantage before severely cold water kills down the shad population and drives the gamefish themselves back into the depths for winter. It’s a time that brings fishermen back to the water, often after having been driven away by the heat.

“You can still catch good fish and good numbers of them in the summer, but the fish are deeper,” Clay Coleman of Clay’s Bait and Tackle in Tupelo said. “It’s hard for the guys fishing on the bank, and lots of folks don’t want to fish in the heat. Late fall is a really good time because the fish pull in shallow and start hitting shad again.”

The renewed activity supplies a challenge at many of the best lakes across the area. A challenge best met with tactics tuned to each body of water.

Alabama Rig Time

Tenn-Tom Waterway

As the water temperatures cool and the annual shad populations begin to dwindle, the Alabama rig, which imitates a school of shad, will again become effective, typically beginning in late October or early November, Coleman said. And this technique will be hot from then until spring. Fall also sees the topwater bite return to the shallower, grassy flats.

Fall crappie fishing mirrors its springtime counterpart in some ways and betters it in others. Crappie run shallow in the spring to spawn and in the fall to feed up for winter. Most area waters impose a minimum length for keepers, requiring fish under a certain size to be released. The length is the same year round though and with a summer’s growth under their scales, keeper crappie are often easier to find in the fall, Coleman said.

Finding crappie in the fall can be a challenge, but with a few facts in mind, it’s one that can be overcome. When the high summer temperatures that have kept the shallower waters warm give way to cold fronts, the upper levels of lake waters cool and sink to the bottom to be replaced by warmer levels rising from below, which are then cooled. This turnover, which continues until the water is roughly the same temperature throughout, stirs debris and rotting plant material into the solution which can cause a drop in oxygen levels. Crappie will seek out clearer, oxygen-rich waters found at the mouths of creeks and rivers and in wind-whipped shallows, two areas definitely worthy of the slab-seeker’s attention.

“Many people are gone hunting by then,” Coleman said.

“When Labor Day arrives and dove season rolls around, they’re done, but they’re missing some of the best fishing of the year.”

Zoom’s Fluke and Super Fluke baits are great along the shallower, creek-fed confines of the rest of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway south of Bay Springs, Coleman said.

“Spinner baits are great there all through the winter, and fishing around the locks with Shaky Head jigs rigged drop-shot style works great, too,” he said.

Pickwick, Bay Springs

“Rat-L-Traps and jerkbaits will work,” Coleman said. “But slow down and try fishing with jigs, especially the Shaky Heads.

You’ll be surprised what you can find.”

Jerk baits, the Alabama rig later in the fall, Rat-L-Traps and topwater techniques lead the list when it comes to the area’s bass fishing success, Coleman said.

“The topwater fishing in the grassy shallows is great here until it gets cold enough to push the fish down deeper,” he said.

When it does get colder, the shad-imitating lures are the way to go. Also, at Bay Springs we’ve had good results fishing spoons in the winter, big jigging spoons and flutter spoons. The spots and the stripes will smoke that, too.”

Davis Lake One of the freshwater gems of the state, Davis Lake, located south of Tupelo and north of Houston on the west side of the Natchez Trace Parkway, produced a near-state record largemouth January 4 when Tupelo’s Jeff Foster hauled in a 17.34 pound whopper, just shy of the 18.15 pound record that has stood for 20 years.

“It will have the state record this year,” Coleman forecasts.

“The folks doing the lake management have it going on. There are big redear, good crappie and low creel limits to keep the big bass fed. Go big here. Big fish eat big baits.”

Sardis and Grenada “The crappie bite will be on,” Coleman said. “They’ll stack up in the spillways and the colder the water and the weather, the better the fishing will be.”

Arrows 101:

The staff of Mud Creek Archery in Tupelo explains the most common arrows and what they are used for.

A large game hunting arrow is specifically designed for use in hunting deer, hogs, elk and other large game animals. The hunting arrow is characterized by a razor sharp, wide, metal tip called a broadhead which is most often a two-blade or three-blade design.

Fish and other submerged targets are shot with a fish arrow most often made of heavy fiberglass. The front of the fish arrow is tipped with a fishing point with fixed or folding barbs that keep the arrow from pulling free from a fish that has been shot. A coarse line is attached to the rear of the fish arrow for use in retrieving shot fish which are often much heavier than those caught traditionally by fishing pole and hook.

A target arrow is characterized by a conical tip often called a field point. The field point tipped arrow is designed to be fired into foam, cardboard, hay or other suitable targets for archery practice or competition. The target arrow or field tipped arrow is not designed for hunting large game but may be used on small game animals such as rabbits and squirrels.

A blunt tipped arrow, referred to as a “blunt� is tipped with a larger diameter, rounded, blunt tip designed to cause blunt force trauma to dispatch small game animals and birds.

Then the game are retrieved by the archer and shot again. The blunt tips of such arrows are often made of rubber or hard plastic but may also be made of metal.

EYE SPY Using Trail Camera Technology

By John J. Woods So, your secret ambition has always been to be a spy. If James Bond had been a deer hunter, he would likely be your ultimate mentor. Truth is, today’s technology, in the application of using digital trail cameras, has far surpassed any gadget that “Q” could have created for agents of Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Furthermore, the technology continues to advance at such an amazing pace that hunters can hardly keep up. What first started out as simple units with 35mm film pocket cameras mounted in a plastic box has evolved into fully digital day and night cameras able to shoot hundreds of photos triggered by motion sensors and infrared smart technology.

Now, cameras can even capture full motion video and transfer the images via wireless connections direct to the user’s laptop miles away. Who knows what is coming next? We must also look at how best to use this trail cam technology and what useful information can it yield.

John J. Woods has been an outdoors writer for over 35 years.

Get Real “I believe many hunters that got into hanging trail cameras had the wrong impression about the end results,” said Andrew Dulaney, a Byram dentist who has been an active hunter for over 20 years and uses trail cameras regularly. “We figured getting photos of a huge buck was for certain that the buck would be there come hunting season. As it turned out, we were not seeing very many camera deer when we hunted.”

Capturing a specific buck on a trail cam is positive feedback, but what does it tell us? If that same buck is repeatedly on the camera, interest should be on pursuing that buck. Even then, this evidence should be guarded in terms of hoping to see that buck when hunting.

Building Up a Data Base “I had no idea what kind of deer was on my place,” said Gary Adams of Holly Springs. The property had lots of old evidence, several well rubbed trees and dried up scrapes. I hung trail cameras to see if I had any decent bucks or if does traveled the routes I scouted.”

“I enjoyed the results I got. I had shots of several really good bucks, lots of does, and even some wild turkey. Seeing those photos definitely elevated my deer hunting interest as I was planning for fall food plots and sites for hunting stands.”

Trail cams are perfect for cataloging deer herd assessments on newly acquired hunting lands or well-hunted properties.

Wildlife surveys are a primary, legitimate reason to use cameras.

Hanging trail cameras across a newly acquired property or any hunting land is a great strategy to get a base level of information about the deer on the property. This is good information to collect each season. It is the most elementary start to using trail cams, but an essential one.

With hunting season fast approaching, now is the time to get a full array of several cameras out in critical deer-use areas. If there are any super bucks on your place, now is the time to put them on “Candid Camera.” If you get numerous snapshots of a good buck on your camera then put several in the same general area on active trails and food resources. Keep records of your photo captures.

Real Time Trail Cam Use Caution should be made when placing trail cams on hunting properties. There is more to it than throwing a camera up on a tree. Trials and plenty of mistakes will teach deer hunters the practical aspects of game trail cameras. Many goofs can be avoided. First, read every line completely in the manufacturer’s owner’s manual instructions on the set up of the camera with all its many features. Follow all the steps to set up the camera in the field.

Watch carefully the angle of the sun when you hang a trail camera. Glare shots will be common if the camera lens is pointed directly into the sun. Set the camera to take multiple photos. Make sure the camera is mounted at the correct height on the tree to insure a full view. Put cameras on active trails, food plots, rubs, scrapes, travel routes, water crossings, prevailing food resources and doe yarding areas. Mount the camera securely to the tree or post and lock it up. Even a camera hung on private land is never immune from disappearing.

Are trail cameras worth the investment? Indeed they are, if you are intent on surveying the white-tailed deer and other game on your hunting property. Just remember, don’t be fooled into trusting that a photo of a big buck will lead to a trip to the taxidermist. Trophy bucks still have to be hunted hard and smart. Trail cam technology can certainly give hunters a glimpse of the whitetail’s behavior. Getting high quality snapshots of their movements is the first step.

Steps for a

Successful

Dove Shoot

By Kevin Tate

Dashing and darting across the sky, arriving in twos, threes and swarms of dozens, the doves that signal fall’s arrival make their entrance. As the traditional first hunt of the year for millions of American sportsmen, this humble bird has a knack for doing a little humbling of its own.

Popular on the table as well as the field, this fast and shifty flyer makes for a very challenging target. Countless hunters who come to appreciate all facets of the outdoors, and who become passionate in their pursuit of other game, get their start on a warm fall day at the edge of a cutover grain field.

Often, the basic, casual, social nature of a typical dove shoot can lead hunters to make shooting well and bagging doves more challenging than necessary. Before taking the field this fall, a run through this mental checklist of a dove hunter’s handiest skills can serve well.

Stuffed Dove Bites Ingredients

Directions

14 dove breasts, skinned and cleaned 7 strips of bacon 1 cup jalapenos, halved 8 oz cream cheese, softened toothpicks

Filet the dove and marinate in balsamic vinaigrette or Italian dressing. Cut the bacon in half to make 14 short strips. Add a pat of cream cheese between a jalapeno half and a dove filet. Wrap the resulting sandwich in a short strip of bacon and pin with a toothpick. Grill over medium flame.

When the bacon is done, the dish is done.

1. Set up your shot.

4. Choose your best gun.

All of us have some shots we shoot especially well. One shooter may prefer shots at doves flying straight on, some prefer a left-to-right cross while others do best with the opposite. Any dove shoot will likely feature a combination, but due to the birds’ flight patterns at each field, most stands produce more of one type of shot than any other. If you’ll take note of how the doves fly on any given field and then position yourself to meet the presentation you shoot best, you’re that much ahead of the game.

Dove shoots often double as reunions with friends, and the shotgun you carry should be one of your best buddies of all. Though the 20-gauge may be the most popular shotgun in the dove field, it’s certainly not the only variety. Like a smoothbore family reunion, a dove shoot may well feature as many different gauges and loads as there are hunters present to use them. Within reason, almost any shotgun can be fed a satisfactory load for dove shooting. The best gun here is the one each individual shooter uses best. Comfort and familiarity outweigh almost every other concern.

2. Patience pays off.

Every dove hunter is aware their gun has a limited effective range, but they may not realize their behavior is limiting the number of opportunities they’re getting within it. Some hunters will see doves coming in their direction and stand up, fidget around and mount their guns well in advance of necessity. The doves may still come in, but flare at 40 yards instead of 30 or 20, clearly reacting to the shooter who moved too soon. Practice sitting stock still, then calmly moving the gun up, mounting, swinging and shooting all in one smooth motion. When you decrease the distance at which the birds react, you increase your own odds proportionally.

3. Don’t forget to hide.

It’s common to see outdoorsmen who hunt doves wearing a camo T-shirt above their faded blue jeans or some other non-naturally-colored gear. If the doves happen to be flying fast and furious on the days they’re shooting, these semi-hidden hunters may make a few key shots, but adding full camouflage and paying attention to detail will make everything work better. On days when the action is slow and the waits are long, full camo can be a must.

Additionally, a makeshift blind to cover small movements can be a big help. It’s not necessary to construct anything elaborate, but by backing up in the weeds about three or four feet and keeping your face down as much as possible, more opportunities will result.

5. Don’t give up.

Some of the best dove hunts occur later in the season.

Doves are migratory birds, and it’s not uncommon for the first few shoots of the year to involve local birds that have not yet migrated. However, as the season progresses, you’ll discover large groups of adult birds arriving in your area for winter. You can have some excellent dove shoots later in the year if you keep your field prepared and don’t give up on the hunt.

6. Practice as well as hunt.

As hunting season continues and the doves fly faster and higher, opportunities for easier shots are reduced. Skeet shooting is not only fun, it’s great practice and exercise.

While skeet don’t fly exactly like doves, the fundamentals of skeet shooting are so similar to dove hunting that nothing else comes close.

7. Safety is no accident.

Shots often come unexpectedly. When you go to the field, be aware of everyone’s location before the hunt begins.

You don’t want to be set up too close to someone else, and you want to be conscious of your shots every time. Avoid shooting at low birds for everyone else’s sake, and don’t let excitement override common sense.

The

Muzzleloader New Old-Fashioned Hunting

By Richard Roach

Opening morning of Mississippi’s 2010 spring turkey season saw me following my normal routine. Before daylight, with flashlight in hand, I made the long three-mile trek to my favorite hunting spot. Reaching my usual stopping place on a pine ridge, I rested, snoozed a little, and waited for dawn to break. At the first streaks of pink on the eastern horizon, I let rip the first owl hoot.

“Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo—hoo, hoo, hoo, hooooooah!”

I listened intensely, hoping to hear the beckoning gobble of a tom on the roost. But nothing answered. I waited a while and owled again—still no response—I decided to move. Taking a trail across a hollow and up another ridge, I connected with an old logging road, followed it a few hundred yards, stopped, and discharged another owl hoot.

A turkey gobbled. He sounded several hundred yards away and on the other side of the ridge. Since it was early enough for turkeys to still be on the roost, I moved toward him with caution, owling once in a while to keep him gobbling so I could pinpoint his location and avoid getting too close. Atop the ridge, I felt I was close enough and positioned against an aged longleaf pine.

It didn’t take long. A few yelps from my Woodhaven “red wasp” mouth call followed by a series from my Primos “box cutter” brought the tom right on in. He never answered me with a gobble. But in a few moments I heard drumming, and then there he was. Instinctively, I took aim for the head/neck area and squeezed the trigger—Chi-POW! The gobbler dropped to the ground, flopping wildly, and I was quickly over him, elated as reality set in. I had killed a turkey.

I had scored, but there was nothing especially exciting, unusual or dramatic about this hunt. It is not the story I would

select when sitting around with a bunch of hunters telling our favorite tales. I didn’t have to work hard for the turkey. Everything worked right, and it all happened quickly. Yet when I think back on my turkeys over the years, this one stands out.

Why? Well, for one thing, I found myself kneeling beside my most prized trophy in all my turkey hunting career—a four or five year-old with thick twin nine-inch beards. But even better than that, this maybe once in a lifetime gobbler was taken with a flintlock.

Turkey hunting with a flintlock began for me in 2008 when I bagged two gobblers with my 12 gauge English fowler (shotgun) purchased from Caywood Gunmakers. But my flintlock pilgrimage didn’t start with turkey hunting. In 2002, with my first flintlock, a .50 caliber Traditions Pennsylvania rifle, I downed a young buck after having it only two weeks. Then in 2004, at an armsmaker workshop in Indiana, I built my current deer rifle, a .54 caliber Jim Chambers Early Lancaster, and have had success with it as well.

So why do I hunt this way? A boyhood fan of Daniel Boone, I still have nostalgia for the frontier days. By using flintlocks I feel a partial connection with those times. I like being alone in big woods with my long guns and accessories, sensing something of the adventurous spirit of the longrifle men and the mountain men. I have traditional powder horns, possibles bags

Flintlock Shooting Tips In shooting a flintlock there is no margin for error. And if you don’t practice regularly or go to the range prior to season, the tendency will be to flinch when you shoot, and if you flinch, you will miss. Here are a few basic shooting tips: 1) Take time to aim. Don’t get in a hurry and just shoot.

2) Aim small, miss small.

3) If possible, before the shot, lick your finger and moisten the front sight. The sight will show up better on your target.

4) Take a breath and either hold it or exhale slowly as you shoot. This will help you stay steady.

5) Lightly squeeze the bottom of the trigger with the tip of your index finger.

6) Follow through the shot. This might be the hardest part to master. It was for me. But shoot, shoot and shoot some more, until you know you are not pulling up prematurely.

If you do these things and practice a lot, who knows, before long you might be as good as ol’ Boone himself.

and tools I made from deer antlers, including a combination powder measurer/pan primer.

Hunting pioneer-style brings excitement. Also, I love the challenge. When I harvest a deer or a turkey, I feel a sense of accomplishment, as if I’ve really done something.

Does this sound exciting? Are you ready for something different? Perhaps you’d like to get out of the rut of hunting the normal way and embrace the challenge of the flintlock. There are some things to consider. With deer hunting, I know I won’t get as many bucks in a season as those who use modern, conventional methods.

It’s something I have to accept. If you go primitive, three strikes are against you: First, hunting on the ground puts you at a disadvantage. Second, you’re limited to one shot. And third, your killing range is shorter. With turkey hunting, the only one of these factors that really matters much is being limited to one shot. As to killing range, my gun patterns well up to around 38 yards, and all the birds I’ve taken with it were closer than that.

So, if you’re in for this challenge, be encouraged. You can beat the odds and be successful.

If you see the buck before he sees you, you’ll usually get him, and practice will make that one shot count, whether deer or turkey. The joy of flintlock hunting will be yours, too.

Shoulder Workout with Jessie Hykes of Anytime Fitness

•

1) Seated Overhead Dumbbell Press Grab two dumbbells and a bench with back support.

Bring the dumbbells to your shoulders and lift them straight up with a slight arch in your back until your elbows are nearly locked out completely. Lower the dumbbells under control back to your shoulders and repeat. Targets front deltoid muscles.

2) Standing Dumbbell Front Raise Grab two dumbbells, starting with them at your side with a slight bend in your elbows. Alternating arms, raise the dumbbell straight out in front of you until it reaches eye level, lower it back to your side under control then repeat.

Try to keep control throughout the lift and refrain from swinging the dumbbells. Targets the front deltoid muscles.

3) Standing Dumbbell Lateral Raise Grab two dumbbells and start with them at your side with a slight bend in your elbows. Simultaneously raise the dumbbells out to your side until your arms are parallel to the ground. Maintaining control throughout the lift, lower the dumbbells back to your side and repeat. Targets the lateral deltoid muscles.

4) Rear Deltoid Machine Flyes Most gyms will have the rear deltoid machine, it is usually combined with the pec� dec machine. If so, you sit facing the machine, with your back straight and a slight bend in your elbows. With the handles of the machine out in front of you, pull the arms of the machine back behind you as far as possible without jerking. Under control, let the arms come back in front of you. If you don’t have access to this type of machine, you can replace this lift with bent over lateral raises. Bent over lateral raises are like the lateral raises mentioned early except you bend at the waist. Targets rear deltoid muscles.

Giles Island

Adventure

By Buster Wolfe

Hunters know about the deer that roam the hardwood bottomland at Giles Island Hunting Club. Property manager Jimmy Riley and mega hunting icon Mossy Oak tipped their hands during a 2011 bow hunt filmed for television.

When Mossy Oaks’ “Deer Thugs” production team arrived at the 9,400-acre property that is 15 miles west of Natchez, Riley directed an afternoon excursion on opening day.

The result: a 17-point buck with a 24½-inch spread that scored 180 6/8 Pope & Young.

With a one-to-one buck-to-doe ratio among the 1,000 deer on Giles Island, the opportunity to shoot a trophy buck exists because of the hunting club’s management techniques.

“I’ve been here 17 years and we’ve tweaked our shooter requirements around probably four times since I’ve been here,” Riley said. “We’ve finally settled on shooting age.”

The outcome has been outstanding. Average buck weight is 200 pounds with trophy scores in the mid-140s. However, 280-pound deer with several bucks scoring more than 170

inches is not unusual.

Riley said the successful tradition of big bucks at Giles Island comes from micromanaging the deer herd.

“What we’re doing is all of our guides are required to take a camera and video the hunt for our hunter,” he said. “They’ll provide a copy of the hunt on a DVD for the hunter to take home. As a result, we get all of this video data and every year I produce a video called ‘The Ones That Got Away.’ It’s a management tool for us also.”

As an island created in 1933 when the Corps of Engineers dredged the Giles cutoff, various hunting scenarios are available. Hunters can choose from dense thickets to wide open fields in the rich hardwood bottomland.

Because the guides are experienced bowhunters and the terrain allows for close shots, Giles Island provides an ideal setting for archery hunting. During a three-day adventure, bowhunters have the opportunity to harvest one trophy buck and one management buck.

The hunting club’s reputation requires special attention Sporting Journal

“

This is our third year for alligator hunting. We’ve killed three 13-footers so far and we’ve got a couple of 12-footers.”

during deer season.

“We have six full-time employees in year-round positions,” Riley said. “We take on another nine guides who are going to be here all the time during deer season.”

The care of the hunting club’s staff shows in the customers who take advantage of Giles Island’s hunting opportunities.

“For deer hunting, we can take 12 hunters at a time,” Riley said. “We run two hunts a week. Monday through Thursday we’ll have 12 hunters, then Thursday through Sunday, we’ll have 12 hunters. That’s a lot of hunts that are booked all the way through January 31.”

Although the talk of killing a trophy buck dominates conversations about Giles Island, the hunting club has more hunting opportunities.

“We don’t take a lot of turkey hunters at a time,” Riley said.

“We take three turkey hunters at a time because we’ve usually got the spring rise going on at that time. Turkeys have suffered over the past few years, but they have come back strong in the last two years.”

Relatively new to Giles Island is alligator hunting.

“This is our third year for alligator hunting,” Riley said.

“We’ve killed three 13-footers so far and we’ve got a couple of 12-footers.”

The hunting club will also take advantage of being in the middle of the Mississippi Flyway with duck hunting.

“We’ve got this old river that wraps around the island,” Riley said. “We’ve separated it out in sections and we’re selling annual memberships to hunt the perimeter of the island. We won’t feed you and we won’t put you up, so you’ll really be doing your own thing there.”

With eight nearby lakes, Giles Island also offers top-notch bass and white perch fishing in the area.

For accommodations, Antler’s Lodge is the showcase for Giles Island, providing 6,700 square feet of relaxation and entertainment. The Game Room includes a pool table, satellite television and a Wall of Fame with the top deer that have been taken on the island.

Also provided in Antler’s Lodge are areas for small groups, the kitchen, the dining area, an indoor/outdoor fireplace and the Giles Island Gift Shop. A back porch allows visitors to relax while watching the local wildlife and reliving the famous “Sandbar Fight” involving Jim Bowie and his knife.

Other accommodations include Fort Bragg and Tree Tops Lodge. Fort Bragg is a two-apartment building that can sleep eight with two queen-size bunks, a bathroom and a porch.

The 5,750-square-foot Tree Tops Lodge provides its own self-contained retreat. The lodge has seven bedrooms with a handicapped-accessible one at ground level and 7 and a half baths. Included are a full kitchen, boot room, courtyard, satellite television and a generator to power the building before heading off to hunt for trophy bucks.
