I live in Mississippi and will probably never leave - our season starts Oct. 1 (bow) and ends Jan. 31, so we've got one of the longest seasons in the U.S. And we've got some really big deer too, though it's a well kept secret. Check out the Magnolia Records Program section of the MS. Dept. of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks at www.mdwfp.com. You'll see what I mean.
