We are two experienced Deer hunters from Sweden that are looking for new experiences and challanges. We have hunted roedeers for a long time in Sweden and want to try out some whitetail hunting on our own in Mississippi. Ive read the regulations both statewide and for the public hunting area, but still have some questions that i hope someone here on the forum can help me with.

1. After reading the definations of a non-resident hunter i have come to the conclusion that its does not matter if you are a American citizen or a Swedish Citizen, you can always apply for a non-resident hunting license. Is this correct or have i missed something?

2. All hunters in Mississippi must have a Hunters Education. Is the one in Mississippi the only one thats legal, or does my Swedish Hunter Education apply here? If not, do anyone have an idea of how to solve this problem?

3. How does the system of tags work? Do i apply for tags somewhere , or are we supposed to buy tags at the public hunting ground?

4. How does it work when hunting on public land. Do one apply for a area (for example Red Creek) and then the gamewarden tells you where other hunter are so you dont put up a stand or a blind right next to them?

5. Whats the gun regulations in MS, can I as a Swedish citizen buy or rent a gun? When reading the Mississippi state regulations ive come to the conclusion that we can buy a gun and then sell it when we leaves. Is this correct or have i missed out something?

I dont have the singlest idea if this trip is possible to do, but i really want to try some new hunting on my own. It does not have to be the State of Mississippi, if anyone has another idea, please feel welcome and help me. Im sorry for the lack of english in the tread, but as you proberly understand im not an native speaker of the language.
