A good bit of my family is from that area of the country. When i was a boy, i remember visiting that place ( fishing) and really liking it. I was just curious if any of you have hunted it. No, not looking for spots. But, it seems like its much more commercialized now than it was when i was a boy. And info on the web is kind of miniscule. Its probably not worth it, but i was just wondering if anyone had any experience there on Ross Barnett. TIA
 
I hunted it way way back when in the late sixties. It was good but it was along time ago.

I used to hunt the Pearl River WMA on the North end of Ross Barnett from about 96 -2003 or so, killed more ducks off it than any other MS WMA. Hunted one well known spot and killed Woodies, Mallards, Gadwall, BW/GW Teal, Pintail, Widgeon, Ringneck, Blue Bills and Spoonbills there. My great hole dried up/Silted over in '03 or so and I never hunted there again. But I had some great hunts. First time I took a friend we filled our limits with Mallards & Gadwall.
