    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    Dang sure does. This ended up drawing the attention of Robbie with Blood Origins who spoke out against it, as well as got mention on the Primos podcast. I'm sure that helped. I just wish I could have seen the look on the commissioner's faces when they saw comments from across the nation.

    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    The proposed buffer was just withdawn. Thanks to all of you that took the time to comment. There were 50 comments in favor, and a whopping 1018 against. The commission meeting is currently still happening, but is available as a live feed on Youtube if you'd like to see it play out.

    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    Thanks guys. This is starting to draw a little more attention. Robbie from Blood Origins did a piece on it. Several other organizations are speaking out. Hopefully we get the Commission's attention.

    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    There's 10 days left before the Commission reads comments and votes on this proposal. After speaking with MDWFP on Friday, the most effective thing we can do right now is to fill out the public comment form and make sure our voice is heard through the proper channel. We're currently in talks...

    The Mississippi Poison Arrow Conundrum

    Here's an example of a poison pod setup. This one has passed through. You can see the balloon has rolled back to expose the cavity that holds the poison.

    The Mississippi Poison Arrow Conundrum

    I'll try to find a picture of the setup. Basically there's an acrylic cylinder that slides over the arrow shaft, behind the broadhead. It's concaved as to create a cavity. The anectine powder goes into that, then a balloon rolls over it to keep it all in. When your arrow passes through the...

    The Mississippi Poison Arrow Conundrum

    This is kinda legal in MS. It's not prohibited at a state level. The poison (anectine) is a federally regulated substance. Like medical marijuana, it doesn't get cracked down on by federal enforcement and it's legal on the state side. Use of "pods" (a balloon that fits over the arrow shaft...

    Probably the same crew, but too old to bust heads these days.

    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    That pretty much sums it up. There is a hard 4am opening at the ramp. He has to use the public ramp to get to his land. He's mad because someone got to his hole before him basically.

    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    Keep my ducks safe from public duck hunters by making public duck hunters get into open water instead of the trees near my property.

    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    Funny you mention that. In the September meeting where it was proposed, the commissioner made that statement. If 100yd is the buffer, then it should be 50yd on either side. The representative of the club refused and basically said they planned to hunt up to the line.

    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    I will likely never hunt here either. But, I can see neighboring landowners at my local WMA following suit if this rule sticks. Thanks for your support.

    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    In this case, no. This isn't considered a "navigable waterway". In a navigable waterway you can hunt within the normal high water mark, but not outside of that. Since this is a backwater slough outside of that mark, the property boundaries are still in play.

    Proposed "No Hunting" Buffer on Mississippi's Malmaison WMA

    At the September Mississippi Department of Wildlife Commission meeting, a representative of a hunting club proposed a 100 yard no hunting buffer between the McIntyre Scatters portion of Malmaison WMA and their property boundary. This was proposed in the name of safety. Mississippi's Malmaison...

    As they lay

    I shot a buck yesterday. He took a step as I shot, and I hit a little far back. No blood at the shot site, so I let him lay a few hours and brought my GSP out to track him up for me. As he laid, with my partner in crime posing for the picture.
