Canemount Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is located near Port Gibson in Claiborne County.  Canemount WMA includes approximately 3,500 acres of hardwood forests and turkeys are abundant.  Turkey hunters looking for a truly special hunting opportunity with a good chance of seeing and harvesting a gobbler should look no further than Canemount WMA.

During the 2013 hunting season, turkey hunting opportunities will be available through a draw hunt system open only to Mississippi residents 16 years of age or older.  There will be 14, 3-day hunts available from March 15 - May 1.  Only one hunter will be selected for each 3-day hunt.  Each drawn hunter may bring 1 hunting guest (2 persons per hunting party). During each 3-day hunt, the bag limit will be 1 adult gobbler.  

Hunters may apply for hunts at www.mdwfp.com/draws from January 18 - February 15 and there will be a $5 fee to apply.  Individuals randomly selected to hunt will be required to purchase an additional permit.  All hunters who are drawn are required to pay a $300 permit fee, and full payment must be made by February 26.  Hunters that do not complete full payment by February 26 will forfeit their permit and a second drawing will be held.  Hunting permits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
